Earlier in June, the Governor was also filmed kneeing before the president as he saw him off to a trip overseas.
The Governor is said to have visited the President on Tuesday to brief him the heightened insecurity, killings and wanton destruction of lives and property in Kaduna state.
President Buhari received Governor El-Rufai and the Commissioner for Internal Security and Home Affairs, Samuel Aruwan at the Presidential Villa in Abuja.
According to the Governor, he was at the Villa primarily, to brief the President on the gruesome murder of 40 persons in his state and asked him to deploy more security forces to the state.
El-Rufai added that the recent declaration of bandits as terrorists has given the military more power to wage war against them.
Nigerians took to social media to air their views on reason the governor knelt down before the number citizen of the country.
