The rumour that Vice President Kashim Shettima will not be President Bola Tinubu’s running mate in 2027 general elections has excited reactions from the ruling All Progressives Congress, APC.
The report that Shettima will be replaced with another person from the North has refused to die since it came alive some times last year.
It has now prompted reaction from APC through its National Publicity Secretary, Felix Morka.
The latter in a statement he released debunked the claim saying it was speculative and baseless.
“Our attention has been drawn to growing media frenzy about the possible replacement of Vice President Kashim Shettima as the running mate to President Bola Tinubu under the platform of our great party ahead of the 2027 general election.
“While these stories have been mostly subtle, they recently assumed a new dimension when names of specific individuals were touted as possible replacements for Vice President Shettima.
“Our party states in categorical terms that the stories are purely speculative, untrue, and utterly baseless,” the statement read in part.
