Nigerians react to Shettima's choice of outfit
When spotted at the event, Nigerians flayed his choice of dress. Shettima was spotted putting on, a suit and a pair of canvass.
Classifying the event as formal and cooperate, a former aide to former president Goodluck Jonathan, Reno Omokri, opined on Twitter:
"This is Tinubu’s running mate at the NBA Conference today. Look at his feet. Who in his right mind wears a suit and tie, and then puts on a pair of gym shoes to a conference? If Shettima does not know how to dress himself, how can he address Nigeria’s challenges?
