Heaven Won’t Fall if Atiku Is Missing from 2027 Ballot – Keyamo
Nigeria's Minister of Aviation and Aerospace Development, Festus Keyamo, has suggested that the country will not face significant consequences if former Vice President Atiku Abubakar is absent from the 2027 presidential ballot.
In an interview on Eagle 102.5 FM’s Frontline programme on Friday, Keyamo expressed his opinion on the potential absence of Atiku Abubakar in the 2027 presidential election. The minister, known for his frankness, suggested that Nigeria would not suffer any major setbacks if the former vice president did not contest the election. Keyamo’s statement comes amidst speculation about Atiku Abubakar’s political future, with the 2023 election still fresh in the minds of many Nigerians.
According to Daily Post Nigeria, Keyamo made these remarks during his interview on Eagle 102.5 FM. However, the minister did not elaborate on the reasons behind his statement or discuss potential candidates who might replace Atiku Abubakar if he decides not to run.
Atiku Abubakar contested the 2019 presidential election but lost to President Muhammadu Buhari. It remains to be seen whether he will contest the 2023 election, let alone the 2027 election.
