El-Rufai Pro Max: Reactions As Governor Bago Of Niger State Kneels Down For President Tinubu (Photo)

The Niger State Governor, Mohammed Umar Bago, on Thursday, visited President Bola Tinubu at the Aso Rock Villa in Abuja.

The Governor was captured on camera kneeling down for the President in greeting, an act which sparked outrage from some social media users.

While some lambasted the Governor for his decision to kneel in greeting, others, however, saw it as an act of respect.

See some of the reactions culled from the X platform.

@Baaaaatunde: Eye service

@RadicalYouthMan: What manner of stupidity is this ??? See an elected Governor bowing to Tinubu as if Tinubu is God ???? How do these manner of people hope to achieve successes as Governors when their loyalty is to the President and not to the people that voted them ??

Even Tinubu never bowed to Obasanjo like this !!!

Na wa oo

@lawankunu: Rant well… Respect is not a sign of weakness…

@amwogakhalwale: What madness and uncivility is this?
