President Muhammadu Buhari has vowed to shock those who call him “Baba Go Slow” in his second term.

Buhari said this during an interview aired on the Nigerian Television Authority on Monday night.

He said: “Those who call me ‘baba go slow’ will see whether I am slow or fast.

“He needs to depend on Commissioners who in turn depend on DPOs.”
