The Minister of Aviation and Aerospace Development, Festus Keyamo, has said President Bola Tinubu holds a strategic advantage over opposition figures ahead of the 2027 general elections.
Keyamo made the remark in a post on his verified X handle on Sunday, where he pointed to Tinubu’s political experience and history in opposition politics.
“The unique thing about President Bola Ahmed Tinubu is that he rose from the ranks of the opposition to become President of Nigeria,” he wrote.
He said the president’s background gives him an edge over rival parties, noting that many opposition strategies mirror Tinubu’s past political approach.

“You cannot outplay the man who shaped opposition politics; he is far ahead of them,” he said.
The comments come as political parties intensify preparations ahead of the 2027 elections.
