Political tension is reportedly growing within the ruling All Progressives Congress (APC) as Vice President Kashim Shettima awaits President Bola Ahmed Tinubu’s decision regarding the party’s 2027 presidential ticket.
According to political insiders, uncertainty over whether Tinubu will retain Shettima as his running mate has triggered anxiety and intense consultations among party stakeholders.
The development has fueled speculations about possible political calculations, regional balancing and strategic alignments ahead of the 2027 general elections.
Supporters of Shettima have continued to express confidence in his loyalty and contributions to the administration, insisting he deserves to remain on the ticket.
However, political analysts say discussions surrounding vice-presidential selection are often influenced by electoral strategy, zoning considerations and internal party negotiations.
The APC leadership has not officially commented on the speculation, while party loyalists continue mobilisation efforts across different regions.
Observers believe the eventual decision on the running mate could significantly shape political alliances and campaign dynamics ahead of the elections.
Tinubu and Shettima emerged victorious on the APC ticket during the 2023 presidential election and have since worked together under the current administration.
The growing speculation highlights the increasing political activities and strategic positioning already underway ahead of the 2027 presidential race.
