The executive governor of Borno state, Kashim Shettima, made an unlikely new friend during a recent inspection of some projects in the state. The governor met with a Fulani laborer who was working in one of the buildings…but what attracted the attention of people was how the Fulani man posed with the governor even putting his hand on the governor’s shoulders.

Online users have reacted differently to this – with some saying the Fulani man acted superior to the governor who is a Kanuri man..

It is believed that the Kanuris have been masters of the Fulani slaves since time immemorial, hence the reaction from online users.
