Teni after receiving the plaque for the award of Member of the Order of the Niger (MON) from the President walked away without paying any obeisance in a manner presumed by some Nigerians as rude.

A former presidential aspirant, Adamu Garba, while reacting to Teni’s action said whoever disrespects the office of the President is an illegitimate and ungrateful Nigerian.

Teni’s action has been greeted with reactions on social media as Nigerians are divided in supporting and opposing the entertainer.

Here are some of the reactions on Twitter:
