The ruling All Progressives Congress has dismissed growing speculation that President Bola Tinubu may sideline Vice President Kashim Shettima ahead of the 2027 presidential election.
The party, speaking through its National Vice Chairman (South-East), Dr Ijeoma Arodiogbu, downplayed the speculation, calling it a distraction.
“I’m hearing that for the first time. There’s a solid working relationship between President Tinubu and Vice President Shettima.
“Shettima is a key asset—intelligent, focused, and deeply involved in this administration. These rumours are likely just political noise meant to create division,” Arodiogbu said.
