1 / 3

At the Government House in Asaba, newly sworn-in Delta State Commissioner Moses Ogodo was moved to tears during his formal inauguration into the State Executive Council. Right after taking the oath, Commissioner Ogodo instinctively knelt before Governor Sheriff Oborevwori in gratitude. The governor gently stopped him, saying, “Don’t kneel down for me. Stand up. We are here to serve Deltans together,” before placing a reassuring hand on his shoulder. The heartfelt moment earned warm applause in the room and has since triggered lively debates online. Some praised the display as true humility, while others viewed it as uncalled-for or a sign of weakness. Netizens have questioned his qualifications and shared mixed reactions.

How do you think such an emotional gesture from a commissioner affects public perception of our state leadership?

Are we assuming that an emotional display from one official can significantly reshape public trust in state leadership?

It is unusual to see a newly sworn official break down and kneel immediately before the governor in that setting.

I find that display quite striking too, especially in such a formal ceremony.

I dey doubt if such public display truly shows devotion or if e just distracts from actual policy goals.

Maybe the focus should shift to his planned initiatives rather than the emotional moment at the inauguration ceremony.
