2023: Why I wore sneakers to NBA conference — Shettima

“When I was told that it was a hostile crowd – I am a banker, trained by one of the best bankers in the world. I am a Jim Ovia boy – I deliberately wore sneakers to snub at them.”
The Vice Presidential candidate of the All Progressives Congress (APC), Kashim Shettima, has said he wore sneakers to the 62nd Nigerian Bar Association (NBA) conference deliberately to “snub at the hostile audience.”

In a video posted on Twitter, Mr Shettima said he sent a team, who briefed him that the crowd at the conference was hostile.

At the event held on Monday, Mr Shettima represented the APC presidential flag bearer, Bola Tinubu.

The outfit of the vice presidential candidate birthed a fashion trend spearheaded by GenZ tagged ‘#Shettimachallenge.

Mr Shettima, a former banker, said he used his experience as a former banker to distract the audience with his choice of sneakers.
