Tinubu–Shettima: The Ticket Seeks a Second Mandate

The Tinubu–Shettima ticket that emerged victorious in the 2023 general election is seeking a renewed mandate in 2027, with the President and Vice President continuing to present a united front on the administration's economic reform agenda.

Vice President Kashim Shettima, a former Governor of Borno State and ex-Senator, has taken on an increasingly visible role in the administration — representing Nigeria at international forums, chairing key economic and security councils, and deputising for the President on state visits.

Supporters point to the complementary strengths of the pairing: Tinubu's decades of political organising experience from Lagos, paired with Shettima's grounding in North-East security and development issues, at a time when national cohesion remains a central campaign theme.

As the APC Presidential Campaign Council ramps up mobilisation under DG Abdul'Aziz Yari, the Tinubu–Shettima ticket is expected to be a central rallying point for the party heading into January 2027.
