The 27-year-old man said his only wish is for Sanwo-Olu to acknowledge him as his son.
A man, identified as Emmanuel Sanwo-Olu, has claimed that he was fathered by the Lagos State Governor, Babajide Sanwo-Olu.
The 27-year-old Emmanuel said his mother had just confirmed to him that he was conceived after a conjugal meeting between her and Sanwo-Olu back in 1994.
The claimant, who is a father of three, therefore expressed a strong desire to see the governor whom he claimed he had not seen since he was born.
