The All Progressives Congress, APC, has dismissed as false and baseless reports suggesting a possible replacement of Vice President Kashim Shettima as President Bola Tinubu’s running mate ahead of the 2027 general elections.
This was disclosed in a statement signed by the APC
National Publicity Secretary, Felix Morka.
The party said it had observed a growing media speculation
on the issue, noting that the rumours recently escalated with the circulation
of names of alleged potential replacements for the Vice President.
The APC stated categorically that such reports were “purely
speculative, untrue and utterly baseless,” urging media organisations to
refrain from amplifying rumours and relying on what it described as
“mischievous news sources of questionable provenance.”
The ruling party also reminded the public that the ban on
political activities remains in force under existing laws and electoral
regulations, stressing that discussions around the 2027 elections are
premature.
According to the statement, the party’s current priority is
to support President Tinubu and Vice President Shettima in the implementation
of the administration’s Renewed Hope Agenda, particularly its ongoing economic
reforms aimed at transforming the economy, building prosperity, and improving
the living conditions of Nigerians.
The APC further cautioned ministers, senior government
officials, and party leaders against actions or comments that could fuel
unnecessary speculation, calling on them instead to focus on diligent service
and on promoting the achievements of the Tinubu-led administration.
