Veteran musician Charly Boy has joined others in recreating an outfit which the party’s vice-presidential candidate, Kashim Shettima, wore to the opening ceremony of the Nigerian Bar Association’s annual general conference.
Shettima wore a dark suit, a red tie and a pair of sneakers to the conference on Monday in Lagos.
His critics accused him of lacking style over a viral photo of him seated with his suit buttoned and his tie bulging.
Joining the challenge on Tuesday, Charly Boy posted a photo of himself on Instagram wearing a similar outfit.
Captioning the photo, he wrote: “Nothing my pikins no go make me do. I was ordered by one of my Area children to do the Shettima Challenge. Wahala for person wey no get tye Even though my shoe no show, but I try naah. Wetin u think?”
“Instead of appreciating the brilliance and profundity of his passion, eloquence, intellect, knowledge and delivery some are obsessing about his suit, tie and shoes!
Meanwhile, former aviation minister Femi Fani-Kayode has dismissed the fuss over the Shettima’s outfit.
Fani-Kayode said in a tweet that Nigerians should be more concerned about Shettima’s eloquence and composure at the conference.
“Congrats to my friend and brother His Excellency Senator Kashim Shettima, Nigeria’s incoming Vice President, for a superlative performance at the NBA conference yesterday! You did us proud!” the ex-minister wrote.
