Nigerians have initiated the #ShettimaChallenge to mock the vice-presidential candidate of the All Progressives Congress (APC), Kashim Shettima over his outfit to this year’s Nigerian Bar Association (NBA) conference.
Kashim Shettima Challenge
On Monday, the former Borno governor represented the APC presidential candidate, Bola Tinubu at the annual NBA conference at the Eko Atlantic City from August 22 to 26.
Shettima was dressed in a black suit and red tie, accompanied by a pair of gym sneakers, which has continued to elicit a wave of mixed reactions on social media.
Several users faulted his fashion sense, arguing that he should not have worn the attire to an official outing such as the NBA conference, while a few others defended him.
Amid the reactions trailing the former governor’s choice of outfit, some social media users took to Twitter to initiate the #ShettimaChallenge to mock him over his fashion sense.
However, supporters of the APC including Festus Keyamo, the Minister of State for Labour and Employment, donned a similar outfit to justify Shettima’s fashion sense.
Now, since they think the issues of Nigeria are three buttons, a pair of sneakers and a long tie, let’s help make them the real issues! pic.twitter.com/JluD4goChN

KanyiDaily recalls that while speaking at the NBC conference, Kashim Shettima called on Nigerians to see through the worn-out rhetoric and sophistry of pretentious politicians.
