APC Names Shettima as Tinubu's Running Mate for 2027

The All Progressives Congress (APC) has formally unveiled Kashim Shettima as the running mate to Bola Ahmed Tinubu for the upcoming 2027 presidential election. This announcement was made during a ceremony held in Abuja, where the APC leadership expressed confidence in their collective resolve to sustain and renew hope for the Nigerian populace.

The event featured notable party leaders, including APC Chairman Hope Uzodinma and other governors such as Mai Mala Buni and Babagana Umara Zulum. The presentation of the presidential nomination form was conducted by Ibrahim Masari, a special adviser on political matters to Tinubu.

This development comes amid speculation regarding the potential replacement of Shettima with a northern Christian vice presidential candidate. The APC aims to strengthen its grassroots support and consolidate achievements as they prepare to seek a renewed mandate from the Nigerian people in the 2027 elections.
