APC Denies Discussing 2027 VP Ticket Amid Shettima Replacement Rumors
The All Progressives Congress (APC) has refuted claims about discussions on the 2027 vice presidential ticket, dismissing rumors of replacing Shettima. Speculations have emerged, suggesting likely changes in the party's lineup, with names like Mathew Kukah, Yakubu Dogara, and Barau Jibrin being mentioned.
The party's stance on potential replacements for Shettima was clarified amidst heightened public interest and media speculation. The denial comes amid reports circulating on various media platforms, including social media, hinting at a possible shift in the party's ticket composition.
Notably, the APC faced criticism over the choice of a Muslim-Muslim ticket for the 2023 presidential election, prompting demands for a Northern Christian-Muslim duo. Additionally, party chieftain Ferdinand Iloduba cautioned against alleged plans to favor Northern Christians ahead of the 2027 general elections, citing concerns about weakening the party's electoral prospects.
