Some Nigerians have taken to the Instagram accounts to react to a video clip where President Muhammadu Buhari was seen joking with governors before the commencement of the Council of State meeting on Thursday.
The President was seen in the footage asking Benue State governor, Samuel Ortom, “How are your cattlerearers?”
He also asked Gov. El-Rufai, did you drive bulldozer? He greeted few other states’ chief executives according to the happenings in the respective states.
The jokes have however, caused a stir on social media, with many users faulting what Buhari told the Benue governor.
Below are some of the reactions on social media: @ozorchristian “Seriously it’s a bad joke, mockery.”
