Real Madrid defender David Olatokunbo Alaba on Friday evening, June 23, presented his shirt to President Bola Ahmed Tinubu when he met the former Lagos State Governor in Paris, France.
For the past few days, President Tinubu has been in Paris where he has been having a series of meetings toward the development of Nigeria.
Alaba on the other hand is spending his holiday in the French capital and he was happy to meet President Tinubu despite the fact that he did not play for the Super Eagles.
The 31-year-old was born in Vienna to a Nigerian father and began his career with SV Aspern.
Alaba is Austria's second youngest player to play for their senior national team, debuting for them in 2009 as a 17-year-old.
