Many Nigerians have taken to social media to join a former presidential aide, Reno Omokri, in mocking the All Progressives Congress (APC), Vice-President candidate, Kashim Shettima, over his choice of footwear.

In an image making the trend, Shettima was seen adorning a black suit and red tie on a pair of ‘gym shoes’.

The picture was taken on Monday at the Nigerian Bar Association (NBA) Conference in Lagos State.

The event was also attended by the presidential candidate of the Peoples Democratic Party, Atiku Abubakar, and that of Labour Party, Peter Obi.

However, the APC presidential candidate, Asiwaju Bola Ahmed Tinubu, failed to show up, preferring to send his deputy to represent him.

The decision has made some Nigerians allege that Tinubu was a placeholder for Shettima.
