The recently elected Governor of Kogi state, Usman Ododo, has become a subject of public intrigue following the emergence of a video wherein he proudly declares that Garri was a staple during his university days, emphasizing this point while seen at his dining table partaking in a plate of Garri and groundnut.
In the video, the Governor fondly expresses that consuming Garri is more than a habit; it's a part of him and a sustenance he relied upon during his student years. The individual behind the camera playfully threatens to share the video post-Governorship elections, which occurred on the 11th of November.
Undeterred by the potential consequences, the newly elected Governor confidently asserts that he will continue enjoying his Garri even after the elections. This nonchalant attitude has garnered attention and reactions from many netizens, who find the video amusing, cautioning Kogi state residents to brace themselves for a potential "season of drinking Garri."
