The Minister of Aviation and Aerospace Development, *Festus Keyamo*, says President Bola Tinubu’s re-election in 2027 is already sealed, describing the poll as a “walkover” rather than a contest.
Keyamo stated this during an interview on Channels Television while defending the performance of the Tinubu administration and the All Progressives Congress, APC.
When asked about the chances of the opposition, particularly Labour Party’s 2023 presidential candidate, *Peter Obi*, the minister said he saw no path to victory for him.
“Between you and me, where will Obi’s votes come from? I can’t see it,” Keyamo said.He was also dismissive of former Vice President *Atiku Abubakar*, responding to a question on his candidacy with: “Which Atiku? Nightmare, who?”The minister went further to predict that 2027 would be a walkover for the President.

“I want to make a profound closing statement. Not out of arrogance or overconfidence, but based on pure demographic calculations — the 2027 election is a coronation, not an election,” he declared.Keyamo clarified that his statement was not borne out of arrogance, but from what he called data and political calculations.
He cited recent APC wins as proof of the party’s dominance.“We have won in Ekiti now. We told them to vote, they voted. FCT, they voted. We won! We won!”
he added.In what sounded like a warning to opposition parties, the minister concluded: “Jungle don dey mature. Everywhere go blur for them. Everywhere go blur.”
