The Lagos State Government has clarified that a video which began trending online on Wednesday, November 27, 2024, showing a heated argument between Governor Babajide Sanwo-Olu and a young woman, is not recent. The incident, according to the government, actually occurred in 2019.
The clarification was made in a statement by the Senior Special Assistant to Governor Babajide Sanwo-Olu on New Media, Jubril Gawat, on Wednesday, November 27.
According to Gawat, at the time of the incident, Sanwo-Olu was a governorship aspirant who was only engaging with attendees in a question-and-answer session.
