Hon Sarafadeen Abiodun, Chairman Association of Local Government of Nigeria (ALGON), Osun State Chapter had drawn several opinions over his prostration before Mrs Dupe Adeleke, elder sister to Governor Ademola Adeleke.
The incident had happened when the ALGON Chairman met with Mrs Dupe Adeleke at a function recently.
The picture had circulated on the internet and had received mixed reactions with some praising the act and acknowledging it as a mark of respect in the Yoruba culture, while others had criticized the act.
A Facebook user, Dhikhr’lahi Isiaq Ayeni, said “Prince Adeshina Ayomide I don’t think that matters. As an Omoluabi, prostrating to greet an elderly person shouldn’t be discouraged. Political influence can come from different places, if Yeye influenced his latest political success, prostrating to appreciate her is not a big deal. Audu’s don did the same to appreciate the president. ADEMOLA ADELEKE did the same after he was declared the winner of governorship election last year. El rufai has done it severally for Bubu and even Atiku. There’s no issue here my brother. Don’t forget that in our political journey, God will use someone to help us. Spain just showed his omoluabi’s trait. God bless you my brother”
Another user, Mo Adey, “You praised late Audu’s son for doing the same thing on Monday o just 4days ago and you’re here castigating Spain for doing the same thing. Eyin Oloselu yii Sha 😂😂😂”
Moses Blessing said, “This is just embarrassing”
Adebayo Shittu, “In Yorubaland , prostrations is a sign of respect to elders.Afojudi lo ma pa Iwo ati Dotun”
