VP Shettima Warns Against Challenging Tinubu in 2027 Elections

Vice President Kashim Shettima cautioned potential challengers to President Tinubu in the 2027 elections, stating that it would be a suicidal path or outright imposture. Shettima highlighted the importance of building strong coalitions and credible convictions rather than relying solely on online popularity.

In the context of the 2023 presidential election, Tinubu emerged victorious as the APC candidate, defeating major contenders like Atiku Abubakar, Peter Obi, and Rabiu Kwankwaso despite strong opposition campaigns. The Vice President's comments were made during the 15th National Executive Committee meeting of the Progress Congress in Abuja.
