Tinubu Shettima dilemma warning was made in a video circulating on social media on Wednesday, where Primate Ayodele suggested that the President is at a critical crossroads regarding whether to retain or replace the Vice President on the All Progressives Congress presidential ticket.
According to the cleric, either decision could carry significant political consequences. He stated that retaining Kashim Shettima or removing him would both present challenges for the President, describing the situation as one that places Tinubu under considerable pressure.
Primate Ayodele further claimed that the President may be influenced by political allies and advisers who could push him toward making a decisive but difficult choice.
He suggested that internal and external expectations within the political space could shape the outcome of any such decision.
He also noted that any attempt to resolve the matter might still leave lingering political tensions, indicating that efforts to manage fallout from a change in running mate could prove complex and sensitive.
The cleric’s remarks add to a series of public predictions he has made in recent times regarding political figures and the possible direction of the 2027 elections, comments that have continued to generate debate across political and public circles.
