Following his unusual appearance at the NBA Conference on Monday, August 22, 2022, Vice-Presidential candidate of the All Progressives Congress (APC), Kashim Shettima, has become the butt of jokes on Twitter.
The Borno strongman known for his Kaftan and Borno cap attires, shocked Nigerians as he rocked a somewhat oversized suit (according to APC chieftain, Joe Igbokwe), with gym trainers to match.
Reacting to the rare sight of Shettima in a suit, Twitter users made some keen observations about the attire, the buttons and the standout gym trainers.
For some, Shettima buttoning all three buttons was just too much to overlook, while others couldn’t get past his trainers. Sneakers would have fit better, some suggested. Others wondered why he didn’t stick to his traditional attire.
Here are some reactions gathered by The Quest Times;
In solidarity with Shettima, APC presidential campaign spokesman, Festus Keyamo couldn’t wait to join the challenge

@UdemeOkono Whoever suggested the idea of wearing sneakers on suit to the NBA conference to Shettima was just all out to ridicule the man. Must be difficult selling this ‘market’
@swagskelly01 Shettima didn’t know which NBA invited him. So he decided to play smart, he wore suit for the Nigerian Bar Association conference and sneakers for the National Basketball Association
@RealOlaudah Is Shettima wearing Skechers with an English suit? What kind of bushman is this man?

@Mayorspeaks PDP is finally coming to the reality of the fact that Peter Obi would have been their best shot, they have stopped asking for our structure as they have seen more structures than they bargain for. By the way who gave Mr shettima that suit, Na agbado man sow am.
@samomatseye While Shettima addressed a suite of ideas, they are boiling over suits and shoes. What a people!
There’s now even a Shettima Challenge:
What do you make of Shettima’s suit?
