What to do if my brother has appointed me as executor of his Will and I have asked that he remove me but he won’t?

He continues to prolong the change, even though he has indicated he has another person to replace me. He is in poor health. What right, if any do I have to not be named as executor when my wishes have been communicated and they are not being honored?

You do not have to make this an issue as of this point.  If your brother is in such poor health let the time you have together be the best it can be with out squabbles.  You can always renounce - reject -the position once he passes away. Good luck.
