The National Chairman of the All Progressives Congress (APC), Prof. Nentawe Yilwatda, has dismissed reports suggesting he has been picked as President Bola Tinubu’s running mate for the 2027 presidential election.
Yilwatda also rejected claims that the ruling party is considering dropping Vice President Kashim Shettima, describing the reports as baseless.
He said the speculation amounted to “raising dust where there is no dust at all,” adding that discussions about the 2027 ticket are premature.
According to the APC chairman, decisions on presidential candidates and running mates can only be made after the party’s primary elections, stressing that no such conversations are currently taking place within the party.
Yilwatda attributed the rumours to opposition elements, urging the public to disregard what he described as unfounded political speculation.
