Sen. Kashim Shettima
Former Governor of Borno State (2011–2019) · Former Senator, Borno Central
Kashim Shettima has been Vice President of Nigeria since May 29, 2023, completing the Tinubu–Shettima ticket that won the 2023 general election. A former banker turned public servant, he served two terms as Governor of Borno State through the darkest years of the Boko Haram insurgency, before representing Borno Central in the Senate ahead of his election as Vice President.
Why Shettima Matters to the Ticket
Tested Under Fire
As Governor of Borno State during the height of the insurgency, Shettima led the state through security and humanitarian crises that few Nigerian leaders have had to face — building a reputation for resilience and hands-on crisis management.
A Bridge to the North-East
Shettima's deep roots in Borno and standing across the North-East make him central to APC's outreach in a region critical to a repeat national mandate in 2027.
An Active Vice Presidency
Beyond ceremonial duties, Shettima has taken a hands-on role — representing Nigeria at international forums, chairing key economic and security councils, and deputising for the President on state visits.
