The floral surprise and accompanying kiss drew warm attention, with the image of the governor stepping away from the demands of office to honour his wife resonating with many who saw it.

Below are some of Nigerians' comments:

Tripledosemum wrote on Public Display of Affection (PDA):

"@stemsignature you are a clown. All this old-generation lovers don’t do PDAs o. She even bent slightly to receive the bouquet. Lol."

iamharbdullah commended the First Lady for receiving the flower with respect:

"One thing I noticed is that while collecting the flower, she knelt. Omo, my respect for the doctor keeps increasing day by day; she’s not just a First Lady but a mother, a sister, and a wife who was well trained. Beautiful."

officiall_victoroluwajuwon went satirical about Nigerian women:

"Until Nigerian women make sitting Governor buy flower, nobody is safe now."

somadina_lawrence decried poor affection during the presentation:

"This looks more formal than romantic... no clear connection, less eye contact and no room for the song to play.... no affection."
