Inside Dambazau’s shoes By Reuben Abati

“See what your friends are writing” “Who?” “Your fellow columnists. See how they are attacking the Minister of Interior, General Abdulrahman Dambazau, just because an orderly helped to shine his shoes in public.” “I really don’t see what the hoopla is all about” “Me too” “I think many of our people just like to talk about shoes. For five years, Nigerians kept talking about how former President Goodluck Jonathan had no shoes as a child.” “But he was the one that started it. Last week or so, the former President was again talking about shoes. In America.”
