2027 Rumors Quashed: APC Fires Back at "Baseless" Claims of Vice President Shettima’s Replacement


​-By Ruben Mario Brodrick 

ABUJA – The All Progressives Congress (APC) has issued a stinging rebuttal to circulating rumors suggesting that Vice President Kashim Shettima may be dropped as President Bola Ahmed Tinubu’s running mate for the 2027 general elections.

​In a decisive move to maintain party unity, the ruling party labeled the speculations as "misleading and divisive," urging the public and the media to shift their focus back to the administration's "Renewed Hope Agenda."

​The Party’s Stand: "Utterly Baseless"

​In a statement released on Monday from the party’s national headquarters, APC National Publicity Secretary, Felix Morka, CON, expressed deep concern over the recent media frenzy. He attributed the rumors to "mischievous sources" intent on sowing discord within the presidency.

​"These stories are purely speculative and untrue," Morka stated. "We call on media organizations to exercise caution and refrain from amplifying unfounded claims that could destabilize public confidence."


​Key Directives from the APC Leadership

​The party leadership outlined several critical points to stabilize the political atmosphere:

  • ​Strict Adherence to Law: The APC reminded the public that formal political campaigning remains prohibited under current electoral regulations.
  • ​Focus on Performance: Party officials and senior ministers were specifically warned against entertaining or spreading unverified reports. Their primary duty, the party noted, is the diligent implementation of government policies.
  • ​Unwavering Loyalty: The statement reaffirmed the party's total support for the Tinubu-Shettima ticket, praising their leadership in transforming the national economy and improving living standards.

​Silencing the "Noise"

​The pushback comes after several days of intense chatter on social media and digital news platforms regarding potential shifts in the 2027 ticket. By issuing this "zero-tolerance" response, the APC aims to project an image of internal cohesion and strategic stability.

​The party concluded by emphasizing that it will not be distracted by "rumor-driven politics" and remains committed to issue-based governance and national development.
