Minister of Aviation and Aerospace Development, Festus Keyamo, has reacted strongly to the decision of the National Democratic Coalition (NDC) to zone its 2027 presidential ticket to the South for just one term.
In a post on his verified X account, Keyamo said the move is misleading and not sincere. He compared it to past political promises that were later changed after elections, mentioning the 2011 promise made by former President Goodluck Jonathan.
He also questioned what would happen if Peter Obi, who is being linked to the opposition, changes party or if the party leadership later changes the one-term agreement after winning.
According to him, the decision shows confusion within the opposition and is a sign of desperation ahead of the 2027 elections. He said Nigerians should be careful about such promises because they may not be kept.
Keyamo described the arrangement as “political 419,” saying it is not a serious political plan but something misleading to the public.
Here’s what he said,
“So, what happens if Peter Obi changes his Party, assuming he wins, or as leader of the NDC he gets the NEC of the Party to reverse the decision, if in the unlikely event he wins? This is an insult on the sensibilities of Nigerians; it smacks of outright desperation and actually accentuates the dilemma of the opposition a whole in the 2027 Presidential elections. It is just a joke taken too far; it is nothing but political 419.”….Read_More…
