Senator representing Borno South Senatorial District, Mohammed Ali Ndume, has said the re-emergence of Vice President Kashim Shettima as President Bola Ahmed Tinubu’s running mate for the 2027 general elections has strengthened the All Progressives Congress (APC)’s chances of retaining power.

Ndume made the statement after visiting Vice President Shettima at his residence to congratulate him on his emergence as the APC’s vice-presidential candidate for the 2027 election.

According to the lawmaker, President Tinubu’s decision to retain Shettima reflects confidence in the Vice President’s leadership, loyalty and commitment to the administration.

“I visited Vice President Kashim Shettima to congratulate him on his emergence as the APC’s vice-presidential candidate. As leaders and indigenes of Borno State, it is only right that we celebrate and support one of our own.

“I appreciate President Bola Tinubu for once again choosing Kashim Shettima as his running mate. It is a wise and strategic decision that reflects confidence in his leadership and will further strengthen the APC’s chances in the 2027 elections,” Ndume said.
Ndume said Shettima’s political experience, commitment to public service and dedication to the ideals of the APC have continued to earn him the confidence of party members and many Nigerians.
