The Minister of Aviation and Aerospace Development, Festus Keyamo, has said President Bola Tinubu remains politically ahead of opposition figures ahead of the 2027 general elections.

Keyamo made the claim in a post on his verified X handle on Sunday, where he highlighted Tinubu’s political experience and long-standing role in Nigeria’s opposition politics.

The very unique thing about President Asiwaju Bola Ahmed Tinubu is that he fought from the deep end of opposition to become President of Nigeria,” he wrote.

He argued that Tinubu’s political background gives him an edge over rival parties.

“Every step the opposition takes today and every strategy they adopt is from the playbook of President Asiwaju Bola Ahmed Tinubu,” he added.

Keyamo further stated that the President remains “ahead” of opposition figures in political strategy.

“You cannot beat the master at his own game; you cannot outfox the man who taught almost all of us how to play opposition politics; he is 100 steps ahead of all of them,” he wrote.

The remarks come amid growing political positioning by parties ahead of the 2027 elections.
