New Kogi Deputy Governor Prostrates Before Yahaya Bello (Video)

A remarkable moment of political decorum unfolded in Kogi State, Nigeria, during the inauguration ceremony of Usman Ododo, the newly sworn-in governor and the 5th democratically elected leader of the North Central state. The spotlight, however, momentarily shifted to Salifu Joel Oyibo, who simultaneously took his oath of office as the state’s new Deputy Governor.

What caught the attention of attendees and later resonated online was Oyibo’s traditional gesture of respect. In a rare display, he prostrated before the immediate past Governor, Yahaya Bello, showcasing a profound level of deference not only to Bello but also to other distinguished guests present at the ceremony.

This demonstration of reverence didn’t end with Oyibo; his wife mirrored the sentiment by kneeling before the former governor and his spouse. The act became a poignant symbol of respect and tradition in the political landscape, emphasizing the importance of humility in governance.

The ceremony itself garnered attention from various quarters, with notable figures like the Vice President, Kashim Shettima, the National Chairman of the All Progressives Congress (APC), Abdullahi Ganduje, and other key members of the party gracing the occasion. The presence of such influential figures added significance to the event, making it a focal point in the political landscape of Kogi State.

The captured moment, encapsulated in a viral video, allowed a broader audience to witness and appreciate the Deputy Governor’s profound gesture. Beyond the political realm, it served as a reminder of the cultural values embedded in Nigerian traditions and the symbolic importance of respect within the political sphere.
