Shettima is an albatross hanging on Tinubu’s neck — Primate Ayodele
President Bola Ahmed Tinubu recently announced to Nigerians that the Vice President, Kashim Shettima, is his running mate for the 2027 Presidential Election.
The disclosure of his running mate has kept many in suspense for months but not the prophet at the INRI Evangelical Spiritual Church, Primate Elijah Ayodele.
Primate Ayodele has always maintained his stance on Tinubu/Shettima presidency.
On Tuesday, July 14, 2026, while speaking to journalists on matters of national importance, Primate Ayodele added that the Vice President, Kashim Shettima, has become an albatross hanging on the neck of the president.
The fearless man of God made it clear that selecting the current Vice President, Kashim Shettima as running mate for the president in the 2027 presidential election or not, would still pose serious dilemma for the president.
He said, “Removing Shettima does not save Tinubu.
“There is a standby problem that Tinubu is going to face on his way to second term.
“Whether Tinubu removes Shettima or he doesn’t remove Shettima, he has hung himself on Tinubu’s throat. Remove Shettima, you see crisis, you don’t remove Shettima, you see another crisis, he has become Tinubu’s albatross.
“Tinubu is in dilemma and Tinubu is not sound, health wise, those around you are just deceiving you, your aides, they are just making you to fumble, Baba Tinubu. Tinubu needs prayers.
“Tinubu removing Shettima or not, it doesn’t pay him, he is confused
“He is at a very big crossroad and it is impossible not to remove him and removing him there is no way you can pacify him that will not cause you what you don’t wan,” he stated.
