2027 presidential race: APC retains Shettima

The National Working Committee (NWC) of the All Progressives Congress (APC) has formally unveiled Vice President Kashim Shettima as President Bola Tinubu’s running mate for the 2027 presidential election, putting an end to months of speculation over the composition of the party’s presidential ticket.

The unveiling took place on Friday during a ceremony at the Continental Hotel in Abuja, where the presidential nomination forms of President Tinubu and Vice President Shettima were formally presented to the party.

The nomination forms were submitted on behalf of President Tinubu by his Special Adviser on Political and Other Matters, Ibrahim Masari.

Announcing the development in a post on X, APC National Chairman Nentawe Yilwatda described the event as a defining moment for the ruling party, saying it reaffirmed its commitment to the Renewed Hope Agenda ahead of the 2027 general election.
