While some criticized Governor Bago for what they deemed as excessive reverence towards President Tinubu, others defended the gesture as a display of respect.

On various online platforms, reactions ranged from accusations of sycophancy to commendations for the governor’s show of deference.

@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 incivility is this?

@AzeezOseni4: The Niger State Governor has been visiting Tinubu mostly, what are they cooking?

Recently he signed a memorandum agreement with the Lagos State Governor.

@belel_yusuf: This is embarrassing especially to the Northerners.

@OdysseyEze: Whatever you might tag it, I’m proud to say that I wish I had a governor like him in my state. He is really poised to make life better for his people.

@odbironke: Na waoh… Are all these gestures really from the heart sha?

@EBahba: This is barbaric, self-serving, eye-servicing, and unnecessary!

While opinions remain divided, the specifics of the discussion between President Tinubu and Governor Bago are yet to be disclosed to the public.
