Teni disrespected our president and you all are praising her for such unruly behavior?

@PoojaMedia saying teni disrespected buhari by simply taking her award and leaving is concerning. She took her award and left the man that has neglected the peace and betterment of the country he serves and sitting president. She’s not fake, she did what other hypocrites won’t do

If I was Teni, once I reached that stage and collected the award, I would kneek down immediately and clean Buhari’s shoes.

I would not stop there but proceed to donate myself to a lifetime of servanthood.

I must show absolute & total respect! Especially as a woman, you know.
