A photograph that appears innocent has stirred tweetstorm as Nigerians react to it.
The photograph is that of the senator representing Kogi West, Dino Melaye, who is giving a fist greeting to President Muhammadu Buhari.
The occasion was Buhari’s 2020 budget presentation to the joint sitting of National Assembly in Abuja on Tuesday.
The president, who was addressing the joint session of the National Assembly while presenting the 2020 budget also said he had a cold due to national assignment.
Immediately after observing protocols and before presenting the details of the bill, the President apologised for his voice.
He said, “Before I proceed to read the details of the budget, let me apologise for my voice. As you can hear in my voice, I have cold because I am working hard.”
Exposed!! Popular Abuja doctor revealed how men can naturally and permanently cure poor erection, quick ejaculation, small and shameful manhood without side effects. Even if you are hypertensive or diabetic . Stop the use of hard drugs for sex!! It kills!
There was laughter and applause at the National Assembly over the comment.
However, the photograph has drawn reactions on Twitter.
See the reactions:
In the game of Nigerian politics, greetings are never a sign of love or respect. But a mandatory show for the cameras and onlookers. No permanent friends or enemies, but permanent interest is the Hallmark of any Nigerian politician. That is why they cross carpet any day anytime.

Have you notice how @dino_melaye gleefully smiles to @MBuhari? He quite know full well that it’s new senate — more matured, responsible unlike the 8th assembly where ‘rogues’ dominated it.
