LunagisthubFestus Keyamo Weighs in on Atiku-Peter Obi Presidential Ticket
The Minister of Aviation, Festus Keyamo, has made a bold claim about the potential presidential ticket featuring former Vice President Atiku Abubakar and Peter Obi in 2027. According to Keyamo, Christians and people from the South East will not support such a ticket.
Keyamo’s argument centers around the idea that:
– The Christian demographic that supported Peter Obi in 2023 will pull out if he becomes the deputy to Atiku Abubakar, an 80-year-old Muslim.
– The South East demographic that supported Obi will also pull out due to Atiku’s presence on the ticket.
– Pastors who supported Obi will not campaign for Atiku, further eroding support.
If Keyamo’s assessment is correct, the Atiku-Obi ticket could face significant challenges in the 2027 presidential election. The loss of support from Christians and the South East demographic could prove crucial in determining the outcome of the election.
Keyamo’s comments highlight the complexities of Nigerian politics, where religious and regional dynamics play a significant role in shaping electoral outcomes. As the 2027 presidential election approaches, politicians will need to carefully consider these factors in their bid to win over voters.
