President Bola Ahmed Tinubu drew national attention with a simple gesture.
The Tinubu bows to Obasanjo moment quickly went viral across social media platforms.
President Tinubu had arrived in Iperu for the official unveiling of Gateway Air. The new airline is part of Ogun State’s economic development plan.
Meanwhile, shortly after landing, Tinubu was seen greeting former President Olusegun Obasanjo, who bowed respectfully.
The gesture was captured on video and widely shared online.
However, the moment appeared to rise above past disagreements. In addition, it highlighted respect for tradition and leadership.
Social media users reacted almost immediately after the video surfaced.
One user wrote, “This is the essence of Yoruba culture…We may disagree, but we do not descend into chaos to settle scores. Tinubu’s composure is calculated restraint.”Another added, “The first act of humility was shown by OBJ welcoming BAT. It’s only right the President reciprocates. A reminder that politics is a game, but respect and maturity must come first.”
Beyond the viral moment, the event marked a major development milestone. Gateway Air is expected to boost logistics and trade.
The airline will begin operations with two aircraft managed by ValueJet. Furthermore, it is part of a broader plan to attract investment.
Officials believe the project will improve regional connectivity. Therefore, Ogun State could emerge as a key aviation hub.
