A mild drama played out during a recent visit of some members of the delegation led by the National Chairman of the All Progressives Congress (APC), Abdullahi Ganduje to the President Bola Tinubu at the Aso Rock Villa.
TheNewsGuru.com(TNG) had earlier reported that Tinubu on Thursday hosted the Governor-elect of Edo State, Senator Monday Okpebholo and his Deputy, Dennis Idahosa.
The delegation also included the incumbent Deputy Governor, Philip Shaibu, Edo North Senator, Adams Oshiomhole and a host of other APC Governors and party stalwarts.
However, what became striking to Nigerians, is the kneeling down of these politicals leaders as they greeted President Tinubu.
Their actions have attracted a range of reactions on social media. Below are some of the reactions.
