Traps don't take this allegory (abstraction) personally! I've been to 1 too many Liberal/Conservative conventions, where the election of a leader is accomplished with 60% (or more) of delegates hating the said SOB, but in the end declaring their undying support with an outpouring of emotion due only a returning victorious General!
"Line-ups to wash his feet" may somewhat overstate the reaction to His visit - unless . . . His visit is to announce something of great material consequence for the Co.
He wouldn't be at the AGM for anything less!
A take-over announcement at anything over $6.00 and I want at least the smelling salts handy if I'm present!
What better time than an AGM to make such an announcement! Members of the Board have recently denied the possibility of such a happening, (TO) which, IMHO, makes it more plausible!
Rumour has it the Grope and Flail may have coverage at the meeting.

Sorry Traps, but no malice afore-thought.
