Reports suggesting that Bukayo Saka, the Arsenal star, is planning to meet with Babajide Sanwo-Olu, the Governor of Lagos State.
Bukayo Saka, the talented Arsenal footballer with Nigerian heritage, has reportedly arrived in Lagos, the capital of West Africa. After a challenging Premier League season, the 21-year-old forward is taking some time off and has chosen Lagos as his holiday destination.
Saka played a key role in Arsenal’s second-place finish in the league, which earned him a new contract until 2028, along with a significant salary increase.
Nigerians are thrilled to welcome Saka to Lagos, as he is highly regarded for his skills and achievements. Raised by Nigerian immigrants in the UK, Saka had the option to play for Nigeria’s national team, the Super Eagles, but he decided to represent England instead.
There are now rumors circulating that Saka will have a meeting with top government officials during his stay in Lagos. One of the speculated meetings is with Babajide Sanwo-Olu, the two-term governor of Lagos State. However, there has been no official confirmation from either the Lagos State Government or Saka’s team regarding these meetings. The reports are primarily based on viral speculation on social media.
Additionally, Saka, who recently showcased the new Arsenal and Adidas home jerseys for the 2023/24 season, is expected to participate in a meet and greet with his fans before departing. As a fan favorite, this interaction will undoubtedly be a special moment for both Saka and his supporters.
