Minister of State II for Foreign Affairs,
Senator Musiliu Obanikoro has clarified his
much talked about taste for palm-slipper
footwears.

The Minister came under harsh criticism
on Friday in the Nigerian social media over
what critics described as “too informal for
a Minister of the Federal Republic of
Nigeria.”

But in a telephone interview with
BREAKING TIMES on Friday, Senator
Obanikoro revealed the real reason behind
his usual choice of the slippers. “I have
serious problems with my toes. I was
operated on them twice but the pain still
won’t go away. This has made it very
difficult for me to wear proper shoes as
frequently as I would love to”, he said.
Known for his trim and physically fit
physique which he attributes to a “healthy
eating habit and a regular appointment at
the gym”, Senator Obanikoro easily
passes for one of Nigeria’s trendiest
Ministers.

Koro has swag, d man na style icon.
