Vice-Presidential candidate of the All Progressives Congress (APC), Senator Kashim Shettima, has explained why he wore sneakers to the Nigeria Bar Association (NBA) conference in Lagos on Monday.
Shettima, a former Governor of Borno State, became the butt of joke on the social media after the outing.
Some critics even went on overdrive to do “Shettima Challenge” over the outfit.
But speaking in a video that surfaced on Thursday, Shettima said he deliberately wore the sneakers.

Shettima, in the video, said: “I was in Lagos for the NBA conference. The conference was held in Eko Hotels. It was largely funded by the Lagos State Government, the APC government of Lagos State. Subsequently, they moved to Eko Atlantic City, a product of an idea conceived by Asiwaju Bola Ahmed Tinubu.
“When I sent my recce team, it was learnt that one of the presidential candidates’ team held meetings for three consecutive nights to commit mischief. 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 swam at them.”
