2023: Shettima Under Fire For Rocking Igbo Attire

From Ogundele Olanrewaju

The vice presidential candidate of All Progressive Congress (APC), Kashima Shettima, recent outfit has generated reactions on social media.
In the photos that surfaced social media, Shettima donned the signature ‘Red Cap’ and the White ‘Npor’ which are traditionally worn by the Igbo men to a recent event.

However, the attire did not sit well with some Nigerians on social media who went on to slam the VP for outright disrespect towards the Igbos.

According to the displeased Nigerians, only persons with chieftancy title are allowed to don such attire in Igbo land.

Reacting to the outfit, Ouchcleo, an Instagram user wrote; ”Politics have made this people not to respect this red cap. Who crown him a chief to wear a red cap”

Another user Makky wrote; ”This his attire is confused just like the entire APC. Is he dressing as igbo, or Hausa or mixture??”
