TUESDAY, 19th October, 2021: The Governor of Lagos State, Babajide Sanwo-Olu, today met with Taiwo  Osinowo also known as Boda Taiye Oniyakuya, the artist behind a funny looking drawing of him trending online.
Taiwo went viral a couple of days ago when he shared a caricature drawing of the governor on social media.
He captioned the drawing, "I drew his excellency, Governor of Lagos State @jidesanwoolu. I thank God for the successful work. I think his excellency will love it. I still remain the best artist in UAR.”
His drawing drew the attention of the Governor who tweeted, “So, it’s me you drew like this? I’m guessing you’ll like to present it to me, abi? Ok, come and present it to me in my office. Hmmmm…”
The drawing was today presented to Sanwo-Olu by Taiye at the Lagos Youth Symposium event held at the LTV Blue Roof Agidingbi, Ikeja.
Speaking after the presentation, Taiye stated that he was warned not to meet the Governor because the drawing he made is a caricature. He added that he was reminded that the Governor’s office was not far from a maximum prison.
However, Sanwo-Olu who called him up to the podium assured him nothing will happen to him, adding that the drawing will be paid for to appreciate his work.
