President Tinubu has officially submitted his nomination form to the APC, retaining Vice President Kashim Shettima as his running mate for the 2027 election.
Tinubu Retains Shettima as 2027 Running Mate
The speculation is over — Tinubu is sticking with Shettima. President Bola Tinubu has submitted his INEC nomination form to the APC’s National Working Committee at the Continental Hotel, Abuja, naming Senator Kashim Shettima as his running mate for 2027.
According to Sahara Reporters, the move ends weeks of rumours that the President might drop his deputy, especially after some APC stakeholders, including North-East figures, withheld their endorsement, with talk of a northern Christian replacement swirling. Presidential aide Sunday Dare confirmed the development on X, announcing Tinubu as the APC’s sole presidential candidate alongside Shettima as his vice-presidential pick.
