Former Minister Reveals Potential Replacements for VP Shettima in 2027 Election
Former Minister Dalung has revealed that there are discussions within the ruling All Progressives Congress (APC) about potential replacements for Vice President Kashim Shettima ahead of the 2027 presidential election. Notable figures being considered include former House of Representatives Speaker Yakubu Dogara, Catholic Bishop Matthew Hassan Kukah, Defense Minister Christoph Musa, and Secretary to the Government of the Federation Georg Akum.
Dalung claims that there is a push to present an acceptable ticket with foreign allies for the 2027 elections, suggesting a shift away from the current Muslim-Muslim ticket. The move is seen as an attempt to address rising challenges such as hardship, hunger, and insecurity in Nigeria.
Dalung emphasizes that the current religious balance on the ticket may not be sustainable and could impact Nigeria's image internationally. The potential change is believed to be influenced by pressures both within and outside Nigeria, particularly from the United States.
