The All Progressives Congress (APC) has moved to reassure its supporters and end months of political speculation by officially confirming Vice President Kashim Shettima as President Bola Tinubu’s running mate for the 2027 presidential election.
The announcement, made on Friday during a meeting of the party’s National Working Committee (NWC) and key leaders at the Continental Hotel in Abuja, reinforces the APC’s decision to maintain continuity ahead of the next general election.
Moreover,the confirmation came after Ibrahim Masari, the President’s Special Adviser on Political Affairs, presented the nomination forms for both Tinubu and Shettima.
The move effectively dismisses widespread reports that the party was considering replacing Shettima with a northern Christian, signaling the APC’s resolve to retain its current Muslim-Muslim presidential ticket for the 2027 race.
