Primate Ayodele Accuses Tinubu of Planning to Replace VP Shettima Ahead of 2027 Elections

Primate Ayodele of the INRI Evangelical Spiritual Church has accused Bola Ahmed Tinubu of considering replacing Vice President Kashim Shettima ahead of the 2027 presidential elections. Ayodele warns that such a move could lead to party destabilization, especially if the vice president is not replaced carefully.

He also cautions against selecting a governor from the north to replace Shettima, as it may trigger unrest in the region. Ayodele further alleges that Tinubu faces internal challenges, including restricting access to the president and betraying his supporters.

The cleric emphasizes the need for Tinubu to address Nigeria's security challenges promptly. The allegations come amidst political tensions within the ruling APC party and ahead of the 2023 elections.
