Popular actor Yul Edochie criticised those who criticised Senator Kashim Shettima, the vice presidential candidate for the All Progressives Congress (APC), for how he dressed for the Nigerian Bar Association (NBA) conference.
Shettima attended the convention on Monday with Atiku Abubakar and the Labour Party's presidential hopefuls (LP).
The former Borno Governor's attire at the Nigeria Bar Association (NBA) conference has drawn criticism from online users.
Many people have expressed their opinions online about why Shettima wore a suit and sneakers, and social media users have recreated his look under the hashtag #ShettimaChallenge.
Reacting to the challenge, Yul Edochie berated Nigerians for placing importance on his look despite several challenges in the country.
He tweeted: “Nigerians & misplaced priorities. They’ll never trend important issues, only frivolities. Who cares about Shettima’s dressing?
“If the next President of Nigeria can fix the country, secure it and make Nigeria work.
”He can be wearing only boxers and a singlet to work. Who cares?”
Reno Omokri and some other social media influencers have joined the challenge.
