Social media erupts after President Buhari is accused of allegedly wearing a N223, 905 shoe.

Earlier today, online news portal, Signal, shared a photo of President Buhari rocking a Gucci shoe which they claim cost $640 and when converted to Naira is valued at N223, 905.



 Reacting to the tweets, the PA to the president on New Media, Bashir Ahmad, shared a photo of President Buhari wearing the pair of shoes during his election campaign days and said he didn't just buy them.


Though it doesn't worth any reply. This was from campaign's days. If they like they can write on it too.

@Baloobogero @BashirAhmaad @da_taf it won't be an issue if the President didn't pretend to be modest during election campaign

@sadiqgabi @BashirAhmaad @Abba308 @da_taf all of a sudden he can now afford 1M shoe. But borrowed money to buy nomination form.

PDP guys are busy talking about Buhari's shoe. If we had focused on cost of Jonathan's Fedora Hats, we wouldn't have won the election.
