Wearing Sneakers To The NBA Conference Was Deliberate – Kashim Shettima

The All Progressives Congress vice-presidential candidate, Kashim Shettima has come out to explain why he wore sneakers to the Nigerian Bar Association Conference in Lagos State on Monday.

He recently had his say while speaking to the press, and Nigerians have been reacting.

According to him, he deliberately wore the sneakers to the conference because he wanted to mock the hostile crowd as that was what they deserved.

Kashim added that Tinubu is the man for Nigerians to follow because he is the one who can replicate Lagos State’s success at a national level.

His words, “I was in Lagos for the NBA conference. It was held in Eko Hotels, it was largely funded by the Lagos State Government, the APC government of Lagos State. Subsequently, they moved to Eko Atlantic city, a product of an idea conceived by Asiwaju Bola Ahmed Tinubu.”

“When I sent my recce team… One of the presidential candidates, his team held meetings for three consecutive nights to commit mischief.”

“When I was told it was a hostile crowd. I’m a banker, trained by one of the best bankers in the world. I’m a Jim Ovia boy. I deliberately wore sneakers to the NBA to mock (sic) at them.”

“Nigerians have the capability to see through the worn-out rhetoric and sophistry of pretentious politicians.”

“Nigerians should follow the man wey know the road. From day one, we will hit the ground running. We’ll promptly address the issue of the economy, ecology, and security.”

“And we have the antecedents. I built some of the best schools in Nigeria. Go to Borno and see wonders; you will never believe that it is a state in a state of war.”

“So, we are going to replicate our achievements in Lagos, in Borno and some of the frontline states so that our nation will be a better place. The fundamental issue is pure leadership.”
