Nigerians Reacts As Newly Elected Deputy Senate President Kneels To Greet President Buhari

The newly elected Deputy Senate President, Senator Ovie-Agege from South-South region kneeling to greet President Muhammadu Buhari during a visit of the newly elected 9th National Assembly to the Presidential Villa, Abuja has led to reaction.

With this gesture, Nigerians believe that the legislative arm under the leadership of the newly elected Senate President Ahmed Lawan and his deputy Oviedo Omo-Agege will not be able to challenge the ill reaction of the executive's.

While some believe that the President now have the power to control the three arms of government (Executive, Legislative, and Judiciary) and can manipulate it in his favour.

Former minister of Aviation and aide to ex-President Goodluck Jonathan, Femi Fani-Kayode took to his official Twitter handle to castigate the gesture, saying that the legislative was created to check the executives, not to bow to them.

"The legislative was created to check the executives, not to bow to them.

"This is the newly-elected DSP,Sen. Ovie Omo-Agege,KNEELING before @MBuhari.Can we expect this creature to act as a check and balance to the executive? What makes a man bow and tremble before another?Has he no self-respect,dignity or honor? A useful idiot and accursed slave is born," he wrote
