Nigerians Urge Shettima to Decline Acting Presidency if Tinubu Is Impeached

In recent social media posts, many Nigerians are urging Vice President Kashim Shettima to decline the role of Acting President if President Bola Tinubu is impeached. They argue this would uphold the APC zoning arrangement that mandates leadership rotate to the South-South. Under the party constitution, the presidency should alternate between regions. If Shettima steps aside, Senate President Godswill Akpabio would become Acting President. Supporters believe Akpabio’s experience and leadership style could bring greater stability. Critics warn that Shettima’s close ties to the current administration may affect his impartiality. With the impeachment process underway, Nigerians are watching closely to see who will lead next.
