The Minister of Aviation and Aerospace Development, Festus Keyamo, has ruled out chances of former Vice President Atiku Abubakar and other opposition leaders upsetting President Bola Tinubu at the 2027 Presidential Election.
Keyamo maintained that Tinubu understands every step and tactic the opposition leaders are taking against him.
The aviation minister made this known in a statement issued on his official X handle on Sunday in reaction to the ongoing campaign against the President.
Keyamo held that Tinubu had once fought from the deep end of opposition back in the days of his tenure as Lagos State Governor where he was the only governor from an opposition party in the South-West.
He claimed that the strategies currently used by the oppositions were adopted from the President’s playbook.
“The very unique thing about President Asiwaju Bola Ahmed Tinubu is that he fought from the deep end of opposition to become President of Nigeria and today, he has totally flipped the script on the PDP which could not outfox him as the only surviving opposition Governor in the South-West in 2007.
“Therefore, every step the opposition takes today and every strategy they adopt is from the playbook of President Asiwaju Bola Ahmed Tinubu.” Keyamo said.
The Minister maintained that Tinubu is far ahead of them with his experience and cannot be defeated using tactics that originated from him.
“He knows and understands every single step against him before they even conceive it.
“You cannot beat the master at his own game; you cannot outfox the man who taught almost all of us how to play opposition politics; he is 100 steps ahead of all of them.” He added.
Keyamo’s statement is coming amid the ongoing campaign against the Tinubu-led administration particularly by the African Democratic Congress (ADC).
The ADC had over the [past months poised itself as a strong opposition to challenge Tinubu and the All Progressives Congress (APC) in the forthcoming 2027 General Elections.
