Nigerians on social media have reacted to the moment President Bola Tinubu kissed the wife of President of France, Emmanuel Macron, Brigitte Macron on her cheek.
In the video, Macron could be seen introducing Tinubu to his wife. Exchanging greetings, the Nigerian president placed a kiss on her cheek.
The couple later held hands with Tinubu after which a photo was taken.
Tinubu had arrived in Paris, France on Tuesday evening, where he took part in the Global Financing Summit convened by President Macron.
This is Tinubu’s first official trip abroad since he was sworn in as president on May 29, 2023.
The two-day summit held at Palais Brongniart from June 22 to 23, considered opportunities to restore fiscal space to countries that face difficult short-term financial challenges, especially the most indebted.
The video has since attracted reactions from Nigerians on the internet.
