North-Central APC Warns Against Dropping Shettima as Tinubu's Running Mate for 2027 Elections
The North-Central APC Forum rejects plans to replace Vice President Kashim Shettima with Bola Tinubu as his running mate for the 2027 elections. They caution that such a move could weaken the party and jeopardize Tinubu's re-election bid.
The forum emphasizes the need to avoid religious sentiments in politics and argues that dropping Shettima could lead to a serious political miscalculation. The statement also accuses certain groups of pushing for a Christian candidate from the North as Tinubu's running mate.
The forum urges Tinubu to maintain the Muslim-Muslim ticket to strengthen the party's chances in the upcoming elections.
