Few days after Doyin Okupe, a PDP stalwart prostrated before him and begged for
forgiveness, the incumbent Governor of Kaduna State was spotted kneeling before
Obasanjo in a public gathering.
Also, last week, Adeyeye Ogunwunsi, the Ooni of Ife, described Obasanjo as one of the
most prominent black men on earth, disclosing that he knelt before the elder statesman
for prayers during his journey to the palace.
However, a picture where Nasir el-Rufai, Kaduna state governor, knelt beside the
indisputable kingmaker has gone viral on social media.
Obasanjo was in between el-Rufai and Akinwunmi Adesina, president of African
Development Bank (AFDB) and Nigeria’s immediate past minister of agriculture, at the
second regional security summit in Abuja.
While Adesina sat comfortably placing his right hand on the Nigerian leader’s leg, el-
Rufai, who served under Obasanjo as a minister, remained in that position, apparently
paying keen attention to a conversation.
