Nollywood actor, Yul Edochie has been slammed over his reaction to the trending Shettima challenge.
Gistlover reported that the challenge was triggered by the outfit APC Vice Presidential candidate, Kashim Shettima wore to the Nigerian Bar Association conference in Lagos on August 22.
While some Nigerians laughed off the trend, some others saw it as an insult to the personality who was out there to represent his principal, Bola Ahmed Tinubu.
The event however, held on Monday, was graced by the presidential candidates of the Peoples Democratic Party, Atiku Abubakar and Labour Party, Peter Obi, respectively.
Shettima, who represented the standard bearer of the APC, Bola Tinubu, was dressed in a black suit and red tie, accompanied by a pair of gym shoes, which had stirred reactions from social media users.
Many Nigerians including celebrities had taken part in the challenge.
Faulting them, Yul Edochie noted how the youths always love trivialities.
He questioned why the youths can’t come up with the #PeterObi challenge to challenge themselves to be educated, intelligent, and outspoken like Peter Obi.
“Now I’m seeing Shettima challenge everywhere. People wearing auto & sneakers. Nigerian youths. Trivialities all the time. Why can’t you do Peter Obi challenge? Challenge yourselves to be educated like Peter, to speak and be intelligent like Peter. Una no go see that one do”.

“Why you no tell us to do “Fidelity” challenge. Like, staying with one wife like Peter Obi. Nah the one way you no dey guilty of you wan promote. Abeg rest”.
