Minister of Aviation and Aerospace Development, Festus Keyamo, has said the 2027 general election will be a coronation for President Bola Tinubu.
Keyamo made this assertion on Thursday in an interview on Channels Television’s Politics Today, where he said Tinubu will defeat the opposition hands down.
He dismissed the chances of presidential candidates of the two major oppositions parties – the Nigeria Democratic Congress, NDC, and the African Democratic Congress, ADC – Peter Obi and Atiku Abubakar, respectively.
The minister expressed optimism that Tinubu and the All Progressives Congress, APC, will retain power in next year’s general elections.
According to him, the achievements of the current APC-led Federal Government had already earned the support of many Nigerians.
“I want to make a profound closing statement. Not out of arrogance. Not out of overconfidence. But out of pure demographic calculations. The 2027 election is a coronation, not an election. I repeat, don’t take me out of context. Out of pure demographic calculations, it’s a coronation.
“Everywhere shall go blurred. I’m looking around. Between you and me, where will Obi’s votes come from? I can’t see it. I don’t see where it will come from,” he said.
