Tinubu Confirms Shettima as APC Vice Presidential Candidate
On Thursday, Bola Ahmed Tinubu, the President of Nigeria, presented a certificate to Kashim Shettima, confirming him as the vice presidential candidate for the All Progressives Congress (APC) in the upcoming 2027 general elections. This presentation was shared via social media by Tinubu's special assistant on social media, Olusegun Dada, who posted a video of the event.
The certificate presentation aims to address recent speculations about Shettima's status within the administration, with Dada asserting that there is no uncertainty regarding Shettima's position. The formal endorsement of Shettima as Tinubu's running mate is expected to put to rest any doubts surrounding the vice presidential slot on the party's ticket.
The APC is preparing to submit its nomination forms to the Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC) ahead of the stipulated deadline, expressing confidence that the Tinubu-Shettima ticket will secure a second term in office during the 2027 presidential elections.
