Shettima, who represented APC presidential candidate, Bola Tinubu, at the event, was dressed in a black suit and red tie, accompanied by a pair of gym shoes, which stirred reactions from social media users.

The outfit worn by the APC, vice presidential candidate, Kashim Shettima to the Nigerian Bar Association, NBA, conference triggered a lot of reactions on social media.

Critics in mockery of the APC chieftain outfit, created a trend called #ShettimaChallenge with images of several of them, donning various sizes of suits with a red tie, and pairs of gym shoes across Nigerian Twitter.

The NBA Conference was attended by the presidential candidates of the Peoples Democratic Party, Atiku Abubakar, and  Labour Party, Peter Obi, respectively.

However, Shettima, in a video currently making the rounds, declared that he deliberately wore sneakers to the event, which took place on Monday.

He said he wore sneakers to the event because there was a plan by a presidential candidate and his supporters to commit mischief at the event.

According to Shettima, “One of the presidential candidates, his team held meetings for three consecutive nights to commit mischief.

“When I was told it was a hostile crowd. I’m a banker, trained by one of the best bankers in the world. I’m a Jim Ovia boy. I deliberately wore sneakers to the NBA to mock (sic) at them.”
