Naijiant The revolution will be on the web
Former president Goodluck Jonathan claimed he had no shoes as a poor kid growing up in his village Otuoke.
That earned him the tag “Shoeless Joe” and he was known to sometimes go without shoes in meetings at the Presidential Villa.
Buhari was on his toes in a recent Aso Rock meeting.
Buhari looks flat-footed, which could explain why he has been called “Baba Go Slow”. He has been toeing the anti-corruption line since coming into power. But he has not been fleet of foot in dealing with Nigeria’s numerous problems and Nigerians that were hoping for him to hit the ground running and get on the front foot have been disappointed. This has been made worse by the president’s tendency to put his foot in his mouth.
