The All Progressives Congress (APC) is expected to officially unveil Vice President Kashim Shettima as President Bola Ahmed Tinubu’s running mate for the 2027 presidential election during a meeting of the party’s National Working Committee (NWC) and other top leaders in Abuja.
The meeting, currently taking place at the Continental Hotel, comes amid months of speculation that President Tinubu might replace Shettima with a northern Christian as his vice-presidential candidate ahead of the next general election.
Sources among senior APC officials attending the meeting confirmed that President Tinubu has re-nominated Shettima as his running mate, with the party expected to make the announcement official later on Friday.
The anticipated declaration is expected to put to rest widespread speculation over the composition of the APC’s 2027 presidential ticket.
Further details are expected as the meeting progresses.
