APC denies Tinubu replacing Shettima as 2027 running mate
APC National Publicity Secretary Felix Morka stated claims of President Tinubu replacing Vice President Shettima with a new running mate did not come from the party. Morka explained the APC has imposed a prohibition on political activities, stating: 'It was not coming from us. It was not something that we put out.' The party clarified it has yet to activate systems per INEC guidelines to discuss the 2027 ticket, dismissing rumors circulating in media as 'speculation' to prevent confusion. Morka emphasized the party's focus remains on the current administration while awaiting formal INEC processes.
