Shettima Renominated as APC Vice Presidential Candidate

The All Progressives Congress (APC) has reaffirmed Kashim Shettima as its vice presidential candidate for the upcoming 2027 elections, a move described by Prof. Rufai Ahmed Alkali as a significant step that enhances the party's electoral prospects. This announcement follows President Bola Ahmed Tinubu's decision to retain Shettima as his running mate, putting to rest months of speculation regarding the composition of the party's ticket.

Alkali expressed that this development reflects Tinubu's confidence in Shettima's loyalty and commitment to the administration's agenda. He congratulated Shettima on his renomination, emphasizing the strong working relationship between Tinubu and Shettima since the administration began in May 2023.

Alkali noted that this partnership demonstrates a commitment to navigating the complex challenges of governance and maintaining stable leadership, which is crucial for inspiring confidence among party members and the Nigerian electorate.
