Buhari dog owner gives reason for choice of name

Iroko Joachim, the man who named his dog ‘Buhari’ has given reasons behind his action.

Iroko who appeared before a Magistrate’s court in Sango Ota, Ogun state on Monday said he took the decision because of his love for President Muhammadu Buhari.

Speaking with AFP before court proceedings began, Iroko said, “President Buhari is a man after my heart. I have great love and admiration for him because of his honesty, discipline and integrity.

“I also salute his courage and resilience. Here is a man who ran for the presidency three times and failed. But he did not give up. He ran again for the fourth time and to God be the glory, won.”

Iroko was arrested last month by the police, who insist that his prosecution has nothing to do with President Buhari.

Iroko’s lawyer Ebun-Olu Adegboruwa told the court to dismiss the case.

“There is no law that says a man cannot give any name to his dog.”

The matter has been adjourned until November 21.
