Nigerians blast El-Rufai for kneeling before Buhari [PHOTO]

The presidency and the Kaduna State governor, Nasir El-Rufai has come
under attack over a picture of him kneeling to greet President
Muhammadu Buhari on Thursday.

The picture was shared by Buhari's Personal Assistant on New Media,
Ahmad Bashir on his twitter page during Buhari's visit to Kaduna to
commission the surveillance aircraft, a Made-in-Nigeria project called
NAFSA Eagle by the Nigeria Airforce.

Bashir Ahmad alongside the picture described El-Rufai's gesture to the
president as a sign of respect.

However, some Nigerians seem not to see it that way, as they accused
El-Rufai of eye service and hypocrisy, while others recalled how he
also bowed for former Vice president Atiku Abubakar yet turned his
back against him.

Recall that former presidential spokesperson, Reno Omokri sometime ago
posted an old photo, reminding Governor Nasir Elrufai of how he knelt,
begging Atiku Abubakar when he was the Vice President.

Here are some comments from Nigerians:

@kalahari "El Rufai has no shame

@sanusiluwan "Respect or Hypocrisy? This was the same man who insulted
Buhari when he was not the president! Was Buhari not old enough to be
respected then?

@ayubama "The midget Governor at it agaiThat idiot just wan buhari to
support him to be presidential candidate of the APC

@damifly Nobody do eye service pass that guy wey kneel dow

@nwakuc This is not respect this is idiocy, illiteracy, backwardness
and outright nonesense.

@benkpesah "Pretender! That was the same he bowed for OBJ but now
talks to him any how.

@obidikwe "Treacherous snake. Didn't he rush to @T_Bakare 's church
immediately that one said he was contesting election. I wonder why he
had to squat; he was already on d ground standing. Short Man

@aljaytee "He'll do anything to cozy up to the echelon of power

@karyopope If u consider this as a sign of respect then you are wrong.
Check his records he does the same thing to his previous "Ogas"

@jayti1 I can guarantee you a time will come he will insult Buhari…all
the bowings are for now

@nsajo "The same man that said Buhari is perpetually unelectable, and
so out of touch. Simply because he thinks Buhari holds the key to his
political ambition now has decided to lick Baba a** and you call it
respect

@onukwube "Clowns! He did same with Atiku, GEJ and OBJ This malam is
the most volatile politician i have seen in my life He's an unstable
element !

@hmu "looks like an ass lick combined with eye service. plus i am
loyal, as indicated by my gate security.
