The vice presidential candidate of the APC has explained why he wore a pair of sneakers and coat to the NBA conference.

In a video making rounds online, Shettima claimed that he was told that a certain presidential candidate has been meeting with some people to foment trouble at the conference, and he was also told the crowd at the NBA conference is a hostile one

Pointing out that he was once a banker before going into politics, he added that he wore sneakers to “sub” the hostile crowd.

The dressing has since sparked a challenge on social media called the #shettimachallenge.
