Tinubu, Edo State governor Monday Okpebholo

Reactions as Edo Governor-Elect Kneels Before Tinubu (video)

"Gist"

President Bola Tinubu on Thursday, at the Aso Rock Villa, received the Edo State Governor-elect with a delegation led by the National Chairman of the All Progressives Congress (APC), Abdullahi Ganduje.

The delegation was at the Villa to formally present Monday Okpebholo, the yet-to-be sworn in Governor to the President.

The delegation also included the Deputy Governor-elect, Dennis Idahosa, the incumbent Deputy Governor, Philip Shaibu, Edo North Senator, Adams Oshiomhole and a host of other APC Governors and party stalwarts.

A mild drama, however, played out during the visit as some members of the delegation, including Okpebholo, Idahosa and Shaibu, were seen kneeling down as they greeted President Tinubu.

@nigerianoise: Governance 30%, politics 110%
The people are in dire straits

@jethroE44: Shameless goat . Bowing for a man that is not your God or even older than you in the name of president. How many times have ever seen a nineteen years old bowing for loel Biden?… Foolish old ozour


@DipoSpeak: Why are people still kneeling in this modern age in a government house where the people occupying the office were elected by the populace to serve everyone .

I understand the they want to show respect and some can argue bowing is also showing too much respect but if that can fly

@Bhooks_man: Igbo man no de kneel πŸ‘Œ

@Fabulous60A: Why are they kneeling down for Mr president?

It’s disappointing tho

@QueenzTonez: It’s embarrassing watching this

@triplerolex: Tinubu loved to be worshiped as god reason why his team briefed these men to kneel down and worship him
