Keyamo Urges APC Members to Support Tinubu’s 2027 Re-Election
Festus Keyamo, the Minister of Aviation and Aerospace Development, has urged members of the All Progressives Congress (APC) to put President Bola Tinubu’s 2027 re-election bid above their personal political goals.
Speaking during a live interview on Channels TV’s Politics Today, Keyamo said Tinubu needs a second term to complete the reforms his administration has started. He warned that allowing a new government to take over in 2027 could disrupt the progress already made, repeating the cycle of abandoned policies.
“Every APC member should focus on securing Tinubu’s second term, even if it means sacrificing personal ambitions,” he said.
He referenced the recent defection of Delta State Governor, Sheriff Oborevwori, to the APC as a significant gain, especially since Delta was a major supporter of the opposition in the past. Keyamo, who hails from the state, said he willingly handed over party leadership there to Oborevwori to strengthen the party ahead of 2027.
According to him, unity and sacrifice within the party are key to securing another term for Tinubu. “It’s not about me,” he said. “What matters is that Mr President wins again.”
Politician and former President Olusegun Obasanjo speaks on Nigeria and shares that the possibility of Nigeria surviving another civil war is quite low.
He revealed that the issues that led to the Biafra War have not been resolved and that if another war breaks out, it will be much harder to resolve.
Reflecting on the civil war, he shared “The conditions that led to the Nigerian civil war years ago still remain unresolved.”
“I was involved in the civil war, but whenever people ask me about the Asaba massacre, I always tell them I cannot give details because Murtala Muhammed was responsible for operations in that area.”
Nigerian businessman Isaac Fayose pleads with the government and President Tinubu that the minimum wage needs to be increased.
He shared that the current minimum wage of ₦70,000 is not enough considering the current state of the country and urged the government to increase it to ₦200,000.
“President Tinubu, have mercy on our people and increase the minimum wage to ₦200,000 now. I don’t think anyone can survive on the current ₦70,000 minimum wage. ₦70,000 is nothing. If we don’t solve the minimum wage problem, we can’t solve crime.”
Human rights activist and lawyer Deji Adeyanju has faced backlash after suggesting that opposition figures, including Peter Obi, could contribute to President Tinubu’s chances of re-election if opposition votes remain divided.
He stated “If Tinubu gets re-elected in 2027, blame Peter Obi and the other contractor-general. With all the insecurity and kidnapping in the country, they are the ones aggressively working for his second term by ensuring opposition votes are divided like they did in 2023.”
His comments sparked criticism from many Nigerians, who argued that Peter Obi is not the only opposition figure and should not be solely blamed for political divisions.
