The Yorubas on the microblogging platform kicked against such an act, claiming Edochie was meant to bow down to the Ooni. The Igbos also have countered their claims and also dragged the Oba of Benin and the people of Edo to their never-ending tribal argument.

See some of the reactions below:

“This is wrong but I won’t stress it…. I let it slide!.”- Otunba GCFRN

“Ooni Ife in Yoruba land is a first class monarch and Edochie is not one not even by law… its like saying Edochie is on the same rank as Obi of Onitsha! Yes Edochie is a great actor and has accomplished much doesn’t mean he is on the same level as the Ooni, even with his age. Is Pete Edochie more honoured than Obasanjo? This picture is a whole ex-president prostrating for the Ooni, so think. I can bet you if he was in front of the king of England, he will bow as protocol demands. A chief and an elder is still not on the same level as a first class monarch like the Ooni”, Jagaban Olu

“Culture differ, even the King of England wouldn’t bow to Ooni. Pete is a tittled man and according to his culture, he can’t bow to another titled but rather shake the way he did. That shows respect”- Jennifer

“This picture should explain it all, a titled igbo bows to no man except his chi, not literally, but in all its worth, that doesn’t mean disrespect, it’s culture. Ooni, Oba of Benin, Mr. Peter Obi, GCFR, GCON, Tinubu”- Amakor
