The North central APC group has warned president Bola Tinubu that if he decides to drop VP Shettima for the 2027 election that will mean end of the road for his political ambition, they also say it will be miscalculation and grave risk

Tensions are already rising as we approach the 2027 general elections. A North Central caucus of the All Progressives Congress (APC) has sent a clear message to President Bola Ahmed Tinubu regarding the future of Vice President Kashim Shettima.

In a statement from the group, party leaders from the North Central region warned that if Shettima is dropped as the running mate, it would be a risky political move—one that could jeopardize Tinubu’s chances for a second term.

The group emphasized that Vice President Shettima plays a crucial role in maintaining a delicate political balance within the APC, especially when it comes to managing regional interests and ensuring stability within the party.  The North central APC

They cautioned that removing him from the 2027 ticket would not only alienate important stakeholders but could also spark internal dissent that might cost the APC vital votes.  The North central APC

“Any effort to sideline Shettima would be a serious miscalculation and a significant risk,” the statement warned, suggesting that such a decision could mean “the end of the road” for Tinubu’s re-election aspirations.

Even though the 2027 elections are still a few years away, this warning sheds light on the early power struggles already taking shape within the ruling party. Analysts point out that it reflects growing concerns over zoning, loyalty, and political alliances as we head into the next election cycle.  The North central APC

While the presidency hasn’t officially commented, insiders indicate that discussions about the 2027 ticket are already stirring unease within APC ranks, with regional factions positioning themselves for influence.  The North central APC

This warning puts President Tinubu in a tricky spot—he has to juggle party unity, regional expectations, and electoral strategies. Whether Shettima stays on the ticket could turn out to be one of the most critical political questions as we approach 2027.

Do you think Tinubu can secure a win in 2027 without Shettima, or is this warning a wake-up call for him?

Meanwhile; Femi Otubanjo who is one of president Tinubu’s adviser calls American’s president “m.ad” on live Tv interview, and when Dr. Reuben Abati try to caution him over his choice of words Femi said he doesn’t care and they can revoke his visa.

A fiery debate has ignited after comments made by Professor Femi Otubanjo, a well-known adviser to President Bola Ahmed Tinubu, during a live broadcast on Arise Television.

In the interview, Otubanjo referred to former U.S. President Donald Trump as a “m,ad man,” a statement that quickly raised eyebrows in the studio. Veteran journalist Reuben Abati tried to rein him in, cautioning that such remarks could lead to diplomatic fallout, including potential visa complications with the United States.

Unbothered, Otubanjo reportedly brushed off the warning, saying he doesn’t care about America or the risk of losing his visa.

This exchange has since triggered a flurry of reactions across Nigeria’s political and social media landscape. While some Nigerians praised Otubanjo for what they view as bold honesty, others condemned the comment as undiplomatic and inappropr!ate for someone connected to the presidency.

Political analysts point out that remarks from those associated with the presidency, even if unofficial, can be seen internationally as indicative of the government’s stance—especially in a time when video clips spread around the world in mere minutes.

As Nigeria struggle with intricate international relations, this incident has reignited discussions about media responsibility, the language of politics, and the delicate balance between personal views and official representation.  Continue reading here
