I watched that Teni video several times, desperate to see when she disrespected the president, yet to see it. I must be watching the wrong videos. Social media’s capacity to create a false reality is unprecedented. Narratives are now more powerful than what people see.

I didn’t see Buhari stretch his hand to give her a handshake. She just took the plaque and left.
Why are you people agitating over nothing? Teni did nothing wrong nau
