Vice Presidential candidate of the ruling All Progressives Congress, Kashim Shettima, has said the sneakers he wore to the NBA conference in Lagos was a move to throw people off.

Shettima had been heavily criticised after photos of his outfit to the event surfaced on social media.

This led to a social media challenge tagged ShettimaChallenge which had people mimicking his outfit.

On why he attended the event in sneakers, Shettima said he got wind that there was gang up against him at the conference and so he threw them off with his outfit

He said, “I was in Lagos for the NBA conference.

“It used to hold at Eko Hotel and was largely funded by the APC government of Lagos state.

He continued; “Subsequently, they moved it to Eko Atlantic; a product of an idea sanctioned by Asiwaju Bola Ahmed Tinubu.

“One of the candidates, he funded his agents and they held meetings for 3 consecutive nights to cause mischief.

“When I was told that it was a hostile crowd, I deliberately wore sneakers.”

It doesn't add up. Just accept the fact that you disappointed with that dress.
