President Bola Tinubu has formally handed Vice President Kashim Shettima a certificate confirming his emergence as the All Progressives Congress (APC) vice-presidential candidate for the 2027 presidential election.

The presentation came after the APC officially reaffirmed Shettima as Tinubu’s running mate for the forthcoming general election.

The event gained public attention on Thursday after the President’s Special Assistant on Social Media, Olusegun Dada, posted a video on his social media platforms showing Shettima arriving at the venue, briefly interacting with Tinubu before receiving the certificate.

Accompanying the video, Dada wrote: “President Bola Ahmed Tinubu presents certificate to Vice President Kashim Shettima as his running mate in 2027 election.”

He also rejected claims that there had been uncertainty regarding Shettima’s status, stating: “At no point was the Vice President’s place in this administration under any doubt. People just create scenarios in their head and start cooking.”

The certificate presentation came shortly after the APC officially endorsed Shettima as Tinubu’s running mate, bringing an end to months of speculation over the party’s vice-presidential choice.

The ruling party has maintained that the Tinubu-Shettima ticket is set to pursue a second term in the 2027 election after completing its nomination process ahead of the deadline for submission to the Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC).

The presentation of the certificate marks another milestone in the APC’s preparations for the 2027 general election.
