Some Nigerians have reacted to the moment differently. See their reactions below:
Emmanuel Ayodele commended the president for making a difference between security protocols and true connection. He wrote:
"I’m not politically minded. But Leadership with a personal touch. It's refreshing to see President Tinubu ensuring respect and genuine interactions prevail, even among his security protocols. A moment of true connection over formality."
Sadeeq maintained that President Tinubu reminded the security aides of how long he had been with the Lagos billionaire. He wrote:
"BAT is like, do you know what we’ve been through together."
Olomitutu said Tinubu's action contradicted what was predicted about him by his political opponents during the election. He tweeted:
"So Tinubu hand dey work now? I think the Obimumu people say he is not fit to carry the hand. So the same hand can work so first like that to stop the DSS guy so quickly? Lol, Tinuba carries the hand like a goalkeeper catching penalty."
Abob noted that the security aide was only performing his duty. He stated:
"It's their duty, and besides, the handshake was taking too long."
Omo Ola posited that life was in their hands despite the duo's old age. He wrote:
"As them old reach; Na their hand life still dey."
