APC Chieftain Warns Against Altering Tinubu/Shettima Ticket for 2027 Elections

Professor Haruna Yerima, a chieftain of the All Progressives Congress (APC), has cautioned against altering the Tinubu/Shettima ticket for the 2027 elections, labeling it as a significant mistake. Yerima stressed the need to preserve the current political dynamics, particularly in the northern region.

He advocated for maintaining Tinubu and Shettima's positions, citing the potential negative impact on the party's unity and electoral prospects if changes were made. Yerima also referenced previous claims of religious tensions and warned against a Muslim-Muslim ticket, urging a balanced approach.

The statement was made in Abuja on January 24, 2026. This development comes amidst growing discussions within the APC regarding the upcoming elections and the party's strategy moving forward.
