Governor Sanwo-Olu flaunts N160 million Patek Philippe wristwatch as poverty worsens in Lagos

The amount is sufficient to pay the N30,000 minimum wage of roughly 5,333 civil servants in a month.

Governor Babajide Sanwo-Olu of Lagos has continued to flaunt his exotic collection of wristwatches, including a Patek Philippe, estimated to sell for N160 million, as poverty and soaring inflation bite harder in the commercial hub.

Mr Sanwo-Olu’s constant show-off has been deemed insensitive to the plight of many Lagos residents who can barely make ends meet due to the fuel subsidy removal.

The provocative display of luxury was spotted by social commentator Feyi Fawehinmi on Sunday afternoon. He made a collage of the governor wearing a Patek Philippe and the watch’s price on the Chrono24 website, a platform where the wealthiest people in the world shop for their wrist candies.

Chrono 24 pegged the watch’s price at £136,189, about N160 million, based on the current exchange rate of N1,170 per pound. The website also listed the cheapest range of Patek Philippe watches at £40,000 and above.

Nigerians across Lagos and other states have continued to lament that President Bola Tinubu’s administration came with untold poverty.

By and large, Mr Sanwo-Olu’s body language of rocking expensive watches at this critical period suggests insensitivity to the average Lagosian who can barely eat a three-square meal.

Gboyega Akosile, a media aide to Mr Sanwo-Olu, did not immediately respond to Peoples Gazette’s request for comment on whether it is appropriate for the governor to flaunt the luxury watch as residents face economic hardship. The amount is sufficient to pay the N30,000 minimum wage of roughly 5,333 civil servants in a month.

You expect the Governor of Lagos state with the 5th largest economy in Africa to come out and lie he only has two watches like that fraud pan.dora who has been caught wearing different watches?

Ipob/lp miscreants, go and deal with Nnamdi cow.nu wearing Fendi up and down and Simon ekpa your prime minister

Like abia and Anambra have been getting?

Lagos state the most corrupt coded state, the Agbado mafia prefer to loose presidential election than to loose Lagos state

Now that Ebola is busy looting federal treasury, he can let his boy in Lagos breathe while he flexes Lagos money.

Nigérian politicians have no atom of humanity in them.

How much is Sanwuolu's salary, emoluments and all for last 4 years? Now this wrist watch means he siphoned N40 million yearly to fund only wrist watch.

Sorry ooo, soon APC sufferers will soon come and ask me if it is my money

They live the most luxurious lifestyle while complaining there's no money and then urging Nigerians to be patient with them. Gullible masses dey believe them.

This life just have money and power and your GOD.

That’s Nigeria politicians reaping where they did not sow and unfortunately some Nigerians will be defending them just on sentiment

Online simps avoid the truth. A yellow bar like him exposed it, but you are hear wailing IPOB because they are your nightmare that just won't go away.

Sanwo-elite doing what Lagos governors appointed and politically anointed by Tinubu do best.

his legal pay since employment into civil service can't buy that wristwatch.

They all go in poor and simple but come out rich and sophisticated.

Moneydey where money day..this suffering ppl are talking about its very strange to a couple of ppl

either is a gift from a crook politician or it's lagosians taxpayers money.

One thing I'm sure of is... He can't buy that with his own money.

He can afford it

When tinubu son dey wear N300m watch, what is N160m to Sanwolu?

Rich people doing rich things..

Useless, fake news

Since Tinubu became president and focused his stealing on the federal coffers, SanwoOlu has had more loose cash to spend on frivolous things. If only he used part of this money for the Patek to fix the elevator, that poor Dr would still be alive.

Op what your business allow the man to flex after all he is doing well

Some people come this life to enjoy, some came to suffer.
These thieves keeps getting richer, buying irrelevant expensive things.
Anyways enjoy your money oga.
