Reactions have trailed a viral video of Governor of Lagos State, Babajide Sanwo-Olu watching the Arsenal, Nottingham Forest at Emirate Stadium.
Saturday’s Premier League debut for Arsenal against Nottingham Forest began late and had a tense conclusion before it was won 2-1.
Arsenal appeared to be heading for a straightforward victory with goals from Eddie Nketiah and Bukayo Saka in the first half of a game that was delayed by 30 minutes due to late fans entering the stadium.
Arsenal was leading 2-0, and Nottingham pulled one back in the second half.
Meanwhile, some Nigerians have expressed their reactions on the viral video:

I find it disturbing that public officials would use taxpayers' money for personal trips of this nature.

Spotting Gov. Sanwo-Olu at the Emirates Stadium for #Arsenal live match is no big deal. I know some guys (die-hard fans) who frequent England for the Arsenal live matches…
