French President Emmanuel Macron surprised the immigrant community in Paris last week following a visit he and his wife paid to a Cameroonian mother of a newborn named Emmanuel Macron.

The French chief executive was informed of the birth of a baby in the city bearing his name and the President of the Republic with his wife and staff went to meet his mother.

The mother of the newborn named Emmanuel Macron, did not hide her surprise and joy at seeing the French Head of State come to meet his namesake.

Cameroon Intelligence Report gathered that President Macron and the First Lady carried the child for a long period of time and Brigitte Macron gave many kisses to the little Macron.

The photos of the historic moment buzzed social networks, and a lot of tongues have been waging ever since on the significance of such a move.
