MON JAN 26 2026-theGBJournal| The All Progressives Congress (APC) on Monday moved to calm nerves as speculation swell around the position of Vice President Kashim Shettima as the running mate to President Bola Tinubu under the platform of our great Party ahead of the 2027 General Elections.
Amid the frenzy, the Party’s National Publicity Secretary, Felix Morka has issued a statement urging media organizations to refrain from lending their platforms to ”rumour-peddlers and mischievous “news sources” of questionable provenance whose only intention is to promote discord and confusion in the polity.”
”While these stories have been mostly subtle, they recently assumed a new dimension when names of specific individuals were touted as possible replacement for Vice President Shettima,” Morka said.
He noted that the APC, in categorical terms view the stories as purely speculative, untrue and utterly baseless.
”Under our laws and electoral regulations, the ban on political activities remains in force.
At this time, our Party remains focused on supporting President Tinubu and Vice President Shettima in delivering the administration’s Renewed Hope Agenda and entrenching its bold reforms that are now steadily transforming the economy, building prosperity, and uplifting the living conditions of our people,” Morka adds.
The Party equally called its ministers senior government and Party officials to avoid, wittingly or unwittingly, stoking needless speculations, and to focus on their primary duty of diligent service to government and our Party, and bolster the success and achievements of President Tinubu, our inimitable and visionary leader.
