The presidential candidate of the Social Democratic Party, SDP, Adewole Adebayo, on Tuesday insisted that President Bola Tinubu and Vice President Kashim Shettima are symbols of what Prophet Muhammad warned Muslims against.

Adebayo said Tinubu and Shettima are no good representation of the Islamic fold in authority.

The SDP presidential candidate made the claim on Arise Television’s Morning Show, where he dismissed the Muslim-Muslim ticket ahead of the 2027 presidential election.

According to Adebayo: “Even if people where looking for Muslims in authority, the president and the vice don’t symbolize that, they symbolize the opposite.

“They are actually what the Prophet and all the leaders of Islam warned muslims against.

This kind of leadership where there is no justice, no truth, no honesty, where there is no kindness, and no charity. So I don’t think that sheep can come and rob the people one more time, it doesn’t make any sense.”

Tinubu and Shettima were voted into office in 2023 on the All Progressives Congress, APC, Muslim-Muslim ticket.

Ahead of the 2027 election, there were speculations that Shettima will be dropped for a Christian.
However, Tinubu recently announced Shettima as his running mate for the 2027 presidential election.
