Shettima's record before the vice presidency
The APC highlighted Shettima's tenure as governor of Borno State, a period the party described as one of the most difficult in the state's history due to the Boko Haram insurgency.
The party said his focus on infrastructure, education, and human capital development during that time helped set the foundations for recovery across the North East geopolitical zone.
He subsequently served as a senator representing Borno Central before being picked as President Bola Tinubu's running mate ahead of the 2023 general elections.
His role in the Tinubu administration
Since assuming office as Vice President, Shettima has chaired the National Economic Council (NEC) and taken an active role in driving economic policy under the Renewed Hope Agenda.
The APC described his contributions as central to what it called the administration's push toward "sustainable development, industrial renaissance, and prosperity."
The party's statement read: "Vice President Shettima continues to exemplify loyalty, strategic economic foresight, and unwavering commitment to the implementation of the Renewed Hope Agenda of the President Bola Tinubu-led administration."
The APC said it prays that "Almighty Allah (SWT) grants His Excellency excellent health, increased wisdom, and divine strength as he continues to serve our fatherland."
