Teni was accused of being disrespectful to the president when he conferred on her the national honour of Member of the Order of the Niger (MON) on Tuesday, October 11.
Omojuwa defends Teni
However, Japheth Joshua Omojuwa, a Nigerian writer, political commentator, and social media expert, who reacted to the issue on Twitter, said he is yet to see when Teni did what she is being accused of.
Omojuwa tweeted:
"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.
"Watched the video again. Teni still hasn’t disrespected President Buhari. I watched it in slow-mo. Will fast forward my next watch."
