El Bruzie described the moment as embarrassing. He said:
"As a true Omoluabi, we will never accept that prostration. We will meet them halfway at most, this is embarrassing."
Ikokwu Chidozie Ikemba, in his reaction, said:
"Even Ganduje and other dignitaries know here is a big problem in Kogi state. When will EFCC move in?"
Oga Mayor said Bello had acted as if he would not leave office. He said:
"Did Bello ever think a day of handover would come? He handled the office as though it was his birth and death right. He will definitely try the Wike way, but the villa will be against him. The white lion automatically becomes white Agbada because he can no longer roar."
Ogie expressed optimism that the case would not turn out to be like that of Governor Siminalayi Fubara of Rivers and his predecessor, Nyesom Wike. He wrote:
"We've seen all this before! I just hope we won't have another Wike and Fubara episode o!"
