<p>The All Progressives Congress (APC) has finally laid to rest months of intense speculation over the party’s presidential ticket for the 2027 general election, formally presenting Vice President Kashim Shettima as President Bola Ahmed Tinubu’s running mate.</p>
<p>A meeting of the party’s National Working Committee (NWC) alongside top party leaders is currently underway at the Continental Hotel in Abuja to seal the announcement. Senior APC leaders at the venue confirmed to Politics Digest that President Tinubu has re-nominated Shettima, effectively reaffirming the partnership that delivered victory for the party in the 2023 presidential poll.</p>
<p>The decision comes after months of speculation that the President might replace his deputy with a northern Christian candidate ahead of the election, a move that would have significantly altered the religious composition of the ticket. Friday’s development represents the clearest indication yet that the President has chosen continuity over political recalibration.</p>

<p>According to THEWILL, Tinubu’s decision was conveyed through his Special Adviser on Political Affairs, Ibrahim Masari, during the meeting.

<p>The ceremony was attended by members of the APC National Working Committee, some governors, and members of the National Assembly elected on the party’s platform, who witnessed the formal presentation of the nomination documents. Also present were members of the Progressive Governors Forum (PGF), led by its Chairman and Governor of Imo State, Senator Hope Uzodinma.</p>
<p>The announcement puts to rest sustained debate over the fate of the Vice President, who has faced repeated questions about his position on the ticket since the 2023 election. With this formal unveiling, the Tinubu-Shettima ticket is now set for the 2027 presidential race.</p>
