How Shettima Confuses Troublemakers at the NBA Conference in Lagos with His Suit and Sneakers

They hacked, hatched, and blew with malicious motives three days before the NBA Conference in Lagos in order to sell their candidates on subpar praise. Any intelligent person with a keen mind can tell when a packed voice is demanding payment. It was initially intended to discredit Senator Bola Ahmed Tinubu, the APC’s flag bearer, but the old man pulled a quick one on them and sent the golden boy to stand in for him at the event.
Again, it was OK to show that bad intent, but the organizer of the occasion was quite astute. When it comes to getting past such politically motivated barriers, Senator Kashim Shettima doesn’t stand by and do nothing. The best method to look at seemingly glorified city males is to pose as a local champion in front of them. That encourages low level perfectionists to think more highly of themselves and leaves them vulnerable to the knockout blow.
Kashim Shettima, the vice presidential candidate for the All Progressives Congress, has given an explanation for why he wore sneakers to the Nigerian Bar Association Conference on Monday in Lagos State. Shettima, who attended the event as Bola Tinubu’s representative on behalf of the APC, drew criticism from social media users for wearing a pair of gym shoes together with a black suit and red tie.
Atiku Abubakar of the People’s Democratic Party and Peter Obi of the Labour Party were among the attendees at the event. But Shettima, a former governor of Borno State, defended his fashion choice in a video clip posted to social media on Thursday, saying that he purposefully wore sneakers to the occasion.
“I was in Lagos for the NBA conference,” he said. ‘It took place in Eko Hotels and was largely supported by the APC-led government of Lagos State. They then relocated to Eko Atlantic City, which was the result of a plan created by Asiwaju Bola Ahmed Tinubu. However, one of the presidential candidates, his group met three nights in a row to plan mischief. I was informed that the crowd was aggressive. I was taught how to be a banker by one of the greatest in the world. I’m a young Jim Ovia. I purposefully chose to ridicule the mischief makers at the NBA Conference by wearing sneakers there.”

Shettima stated during the NBA conference that if elected, he and the APC presidential candidate would duplicate Tinubu’s accomplishments in Lagos. He asserts that Nigerians are able to see through the stale rhetoric and pretentious political sophistry. “Nigerians should heed the advice of the wise. We will get right to work from the beginning. The topics of the economy, ecology, and security will be covered right away.
“And we already have the precursors. Some of Nigeria’s top schools were created by me. You would not believe that Borno is a state in a state of conflict if you visit; you will witness wonders there. So that our country would be a better place, we will duplicate our successes in Lagos, Borno, and other of the frontline states. Pure leadership is the main problem.
Shettima took the podium to discuss the APC’s aims and solutions for Nigeria while they were amused by his suit and sneakers. Obi was overstepped to the point where he only realized his figures were incorrect after he had already delivered them, and Atiku was left to reverse some of his claims as a result of the huge response in Shettima.
In the shock and astonishment of Shettima’s announcement of the accomplishments they have achieved throughout their stints as governors in both Borno and Lagos states, the hired voices among the educated personalities appear dumbed as the clanging sound naturally dies. Unfortunately, they ran out of things to pour their surrogate ideas into, which prompted a rush for the conference bags in a display of humiliation in the old Lagos, where over 2000 learned colleagues served as bus conductors before the Tinubu Administration made a change.
