Lagos State Governor Babajide Sanwo-Olu, has called on Lagosians to “calm down” as the state battles with challenges especially as the COVID-19 pandemic persists.
The Governor’s call was an allusion to a viral video of a boy who urged his mother to calm down while she was trying to punish him for an offence.
Reacting to the video, the Lagos state governor said on his twitter handle Wednesay: “I saw a video of a charming young boy online asking his mom to ‘calm down’ as she was set to punish him for a misdemeanour. I was moved by his sobriety, which reflected in his promise of “last chance”, when confronted with the fact that he is a regular offender.
“I urge every Lagosian to ‘calm down’ and not get carried away. Like the rest of the world, we are still in the middle of a pandemic and need to remain extremely careful to keep the gains of the sacrifices we have all made in the past months.
“Let’s calm down!
Sanwo-Olu added, “As an aside, I would like to meet the young boy since we both now have exclusive rights to the phrasal verb ‘calm down’”
