Engr. Mustapha Gubio has emerged as the All Progressives Congress (APC) governorship candidate in Borno State ahead of the 2027 elections.
Vice President Kashim Shettima was on ground to witness the historic event after participating in the primary election of the APC.
The VP then called for unity among party supporters while urging all stakeholders to work towards the overall victory of the APC and support the agenda of President Bola Ahmed Tinubu.

Stanley Nkwocha, Senior Special Assistant to the President on Media & Communications (Office of the Vice President), made this known in a statement issued via his X handle @stanleynkwocha_ on Thursday, May 21, 2026.
“Whatever we do here is part of the broader agenda of the administration of His Excellency, President Bola Ahmed Tinubu, to ensure a better future for Nigeria and Nigerians – one I believe will set the nation on a clear course for prosperity. The time has come to walk the talk, and only credible leaders can make this unfold into a pleasant reality for the citizens.”
