President Bola Tinubu on Thursday, at the Aso Rock Villa, played host to a delegation led by the National Chairman of the All Progressives Congress (APC), Abdullahi Ganduje.....CONTINUE READING THE ARTICLE FROM THE SOURCE
The purpose of the visit was to formally present Monday Okpebholo, the Governor-elect of Edo State, 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.
See the video.
This also attracted reactions on social media. Below are some of the reactions.

@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
@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
