Vice President Kashim Shettima submits President Bola Tinubu’s expression of interest and presidential nomination forms to the national leadership of the ruling All Progressives Congress (APC). The submissions mark the formal start of the process for the party’s nomination ahead of the 2027 presidential election, with Shettima indicating the intention to secure the APC ticket to contest the election for a second term. The outlets also note that Tinubu had earlier obtained and completed the relevant forms, with Premium Times reporting that he picked the expression of interest and nomination forms the previous week to seek another four-year term. Vanguard and The Punch describe Shettima’s act as the latest step in the party’s internal procedures for selecting candidates. The reports focus on the administrative filing of the forms within APC structures and on the signaling of re-election intentions tied to the 2027 election cycle. None of the sources provide additional details on the outcome of the nomination process, timelines for party primaries, or any alternative candidates.
