Mohammed Ali Ndume, the Senator for Borno South, claims that keeping Vice President Kashim Shettima as President Bola Ahmed Tinubu’s running mate for the upcoming 2027 polls significantly boosts the All Progressives Congress (APC) in its quest to remain in office. Ndume expressed this view following a visit to the Vice President, where he formally extended his congratulations regarding the 2027 ticket.
According to the legislator, the President’s choice demonstrates deep trust in Shettima’s governance skills, unwavering loyalty, and dedication to the current administration. Ndume noted that as fellow natives of Borno State, it is fitting to rally behind their representative. He praised President Tinubu for selecting the Vice President once more, labeling it a tactical move that solidifies the party’s future success. Furthermore, Ndume highlighted that Shettima’s extensive background in politics and his strong commitment to APC values continue to garner widespread support among both party affiliates and the broader Nigerian public.
