Former Minister of Aviation, Femi Fani-Kayode has berated former Lagos State governor and national leader of the APC, Bola Tinubu, for failing to stand up to greet the Ooni of Ife, Oba Adeyeye Ogunwusi, at the Coronation of the Oniru of Iruland in Lagos state on Sunday, September 6.
According to the reports, the Ooni of Ife had arrived at the event and was walking to the high table when he stopped by to greet Tinubu.
Some Nigerians took to social media to bash Tinubu for failing to accord the monarch his respect by standing up to greet him. Others have also condemned the monarch for stopping to greet Tinubu.
In a tweet posted this morning, FFK said it was “insulting and shameful” for Tinubu to have refused to stand up to greet the monarch.
”That the Asiwaju of Bourdillon refused to stand up to greet the Ooni of Ife speaks volumes. This was not only deeply insulting to every Ife & indeed son & daughter of Odua but it is also a crying shame. Would a northern pol. leader refuse to stand up for his traditional ruler?”his tweet reads
