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.
APC National Chairman Nentawe Yilwatda announced the development on Friday, saying the party had “formally received the presidential nomination forms of His Excellency, President Bola Ahmed Tinubu, GCFR, and His Excellency, Vice President Kashim Shettima, GCON, ahead of the 2027 general election.”
He described the unveiling as “a defining moment that reaffirmed our collective resolve to sustain the Renewed Hope Agenda and deepen the progress already being recorded across the country.”
According to Yilwatda, Tinubu’s nomination forms were presented by his Special Adviser on Political and Other Matters, Ibrahim Masari, during a ceremony at the Continental Hotel, Abuja.
The announcement ends months of speculation that Tinubu could replace Shettima with a northern Christian ahead of the 2027 presidential election.
