Following the furor over the Obafemi Awolowo sculpture with a big boot at Ikeja, personally and honestly, I don’t see what the fuss is about with this piece of work. To me, the boots are symbolic. It could be the sculptor’s way of expressing that Awo left a shoe too big to be worn by any other politician. You can’t box creativity. They need know the mind of the sculptor. He didn’t just create a big boot for nothing. It may be symbolic or depicts something.S

It’s simple.
