An old video showing Lagos State Governor, Babajide Sanwo-Olu, calmly addressing a group of security agents who had invaded an estate in Lagos has resurfaced online, sparking widespread comparisons with the recent altercation between the Minister of the Federal Capital Territory (FCT), Nyesom Wike, and a Naval officer in Abuja.
In the resurfaced clip, Governor Sanwo-Olu is seen engaging the officers respectfully, seeking clarification on their actions while maintaining composure throughout the encounter. The video, which is now trending on social media platform X (formerly Twitter), has reignited discussions about leadership conduct and crisis management.
One user wrote: “Can you see how Sanwo-Olu handled himself respectfully and still treated the police officer with dignity?” — contrasting the Lagos governor’s calm approach with Wike’s fiery confrontation over a disputed land in Abuja.
Wike’s encounter, which went viral on Tuesday, showed the minister shouting at uniformed personnel and questioning their authority to block access to the property, prompting mixed reactions from Nigerians.
