ABUJA – The North-Central chapter of the All Progressives Congress (APC) Forum has issued a strong warning to the party’s leadership against plans to replace Vice President Kashim Shettima ahead of the 2027 general elections.
Rising from a strategic meeting in Abuja on Tuesday, the forum stated that dropping Shettima would disrupt the party’s regional balance and undermine the stability of the current administration.
In a communique read by its chairman, Alhaji Musa Sani, the group described Shettima as a “loyal, competent, and unifying figure” whose retention is crucial for the APC’s continued solidarity, especially in the northern regions.
The warning comes amid growing political realignments and speculation over the ruling party’s 2027 presidential ticket. The forum urged the APC to prioritize cohesion and reward loyalty in its next electoral decisions.
No official response has been issued by the party’s national secretariat at the time of filing this report.
