A trending video of Niger State Governor, Mohammed Umar Bago, prostrating to greet President Bola Ahmed Tinubu has stirred widespread reactions on social media.
In the footage, Governor Bago is seen lowering himself fully in greeting as he approached the President during an audience. He later sat on the floor while speaking with Tinubu, a gesture that was also mirrored by others who entered the room to meet with the President.
The governor’s action has generated mixed responses. While some critics described the move as unnecessary for a sitting governor, others defended it as a mark of respect to President Tinubu, noting that in many Nigerian cultures, prostrating before elders is considered an act of humility and honor.
The video continues to trend across platforms, fueling discussions on cultural values, political symbolism, and the evolving dynamics of leadership in Nigeria.
