VIDEO: Lagos State Gov. Sanwo-Olu Surprises Wife With Flowers, Shares Kiss at Women’s Conference

According to a report by Punch on Tuesday, October 27, 2026, Lagos State Governor Babajide Sanwo-Olu has warmed hearts after surprising his wife, Ibijoke Sanwo-Olu, with a bouquet of flowers and sharing a kiss with her at the opening ceremony of the 26th Annual National Women’s Conference in Lagos.

The heartwarming moment occurred on Tuesday during the event organised by the Committee of Wives of Lagos State Officials (COWLSO), which brought together women, public officials and other leaders to discuss issues affecting women and leadership.

Sanwo-Olu presented the flowers to his wife while delivering his speech at the ceremony, using the occasion to recognise and honour her contributions.

“On behalf of COWLSO and everything that is decent, we want to appreciate you, we want to honour you,” the governor said.

The presentation was followed by a kiss between the couple as Nigerian music star 2Baba’s popular love song, African Queen, played at the venue.

The romantic gesture attracted attention at the gathering, with the combination of the flowers, music and public display of affection adding a light-hearted moment to the formal proceedings.

A video of the incident is expected to draw interest on social media, where public appearances by political leaders and their families often generate conversations among Nigerians.

The event was held as part of the 26th edition of the National Women’s Conference, organised by COWLSO, an organisation that promotes initiatives aimed at improving the welfare and development of women.

This year’s conference was themed “Anchored in Purpose: Be the Blueprint.” The theme highlights the importance of living with purpose, providing leadership by example and inspiring others to pursue meaningful goals.

The annual gathering provides a platform for participants to exchange ideas, share experiences and explore strategies for empowering women in different areas of society.

Discussions at such conferences typically cover issues relating to leadership, personal development, family life, economic opportunities and the role women can play in community and national development.
