Vice Presidential candidate of the All Progressives Congress (APC), Kashim Shettima, stormed the ongoing Nigerian Bar Association (NBA) conference in a dress style that has got social media buzzing.
For many Netizens, Shettima, a former banker, and former Borno State Governor, represented the APC presidential candidate, Bola Tinubu, at the conference, in a blazer that looks oversize on a sneaker footwear.
The Labour Party presidential candidate, Peter Obi, came to the NBA conference in his signature senator outfit, but this time a grey colour, not the usual black.
Netizens also say he made the situation worse by not unbuttoning his blazer when he sat.
Obi was received at the venue of the conference with a rousing welcome by participants of the seven days event holding at the Eko Atlantic Hotel in Lagos.
The presidential candidate of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP), Atiku Abubakar, came in a dark colour suit on a white shirt and red tie to match.
But Shettima’s attire got the attention of Netizens who made him a top trend on Nigerian Twitter.
