• Babajide Sanwo-Olu, the governor of Lagos state, has been seen eating roadside roasted plantains, also known as Boli
• Sanwo-Olu’s action happened at the Grand Finale of the 2024 World Food Day Celebration in Ikeja, the state capital
• The governor’s action has started generating reactions from Nigerians, and some were of the view that the governor was doing that for a third term, but it is obvious that Sanwo-Olu would not be contesting again based on the position of the constitution

Governor Babajide Sanwo-Olu of Lagos has been captured in a viral video eating roadside roasted plantain, popularly called Boli, at the Grand Finale of the 2024 World Food Day Celebration at the police college in Ikeja, the state capital, on Wednesday, October 16.
