President Tinubu Hands Shettima APC VP Certificate Ahead 2027 Election

President Bola Tinubu has presented Vice President Kashim Shettima with the official certificate confirming his selection as the All Progressives Congress (APC) vice-presidential candidate for the 2027 general election.

The President handed over the certificate during a brief ceremony on Thursday at his office in the State House, Abuja.

A 45-second video released by the State House media office showed Shettima being ushered into the President’s office by the President’s Liaison Officer before the presentation.

The ceremony followed the APC’s submission of the Tinubu-Shettima nomination forms to the Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC) ahead of the July 11, 2026 deadline for presidential and National Assembly candidates.

The nomination forms were earlier presented to APC National Chairman, Professor Nentawe Yilwatda, at the Continental Hotel in Abuja on July 10 by the President’s Special Adviser on Political Matters, Ibrahim Masari, on behalf of President Tinubu.
