The All Progressives Congress (APC) has addressed recent rumors suggesting that President Bola Tinubu is planning to “dump” Vice President Kashim Shettima in the 2027 election. These speculations have sparked debates and raised concerns among party members and political observers.
In a statement released to the media, the APC dismissed the claims, reaffirming the party’s unity and commitment to the current leadership structure. The party emphasized that there were no plans to replace Shettima, describing the rumors as baseless and a product of political mischief.
A senior APC official, speaking on behalf of the party, stated that President Tinubu and Vice President Shettima share a strong working relationship and remain focused on delivering their mandate to Nigerians. The party further clarified that such discussions were not on the agenda, and that Shettima’s position as Vice President remains secure.
The rumors surrounding the 2027 election have been fueled by speculations about potential political realignments within the ruling party. However, the APC’s response seeks to quash any doubts about the stability of Tinubu’s leadership and his collaboration with Shettima.
As the 2027 election approaches, the APC’s clarification has brought some measure of relief to party supporters, who have been following the developments closely.
