Minister of Aviation and Aerospace Development Festus Keyamo has voiced strong confidence that President Bola Tinubu will secure a second term in the 2027 presidential election, boldly describing the anticipated contest as “a coronation, not an election.”
Speaking on Thursday during Channels Television’s Politics Today programme, the All Progressives Congress (APC) chieftain defended the Tinubu administration’s record and downplayed the prospects of opposition candidates.
When asked if he could urge Nigerians to vote for the APC again, Keyamo pointed to the party’s recent successes in off-cycle elections. “We have won in Ekiti now. We told them to vote, they voted. FCT they voted, we won,” he said.
The minister showed little concern about potential challenges from former Vice President Atiku Abubakar of the African Democratic Congress (ADC) and former Anambra State Governor Peter Obi.
“I’m looking around, between you and me, where will Obi’s votes come from? I can’t see it,” he remarked.
