In a week of shifting political alliances, Festus Keyamo’s call for President Tinubu’s re-election in 2027 strikes a powerful note. Emboldened by the collapse of the PDP’s influence in Delta State, Keyamo frames Tinubu’s continuity as essential for securing Nigeria’s fragile reform journey. But for many Nigerians, continuity raises deeper, more personal questions.
- The PDP’s political structure in Delta State collapsed as Governor Sheriff Oborevwori and top allies defected to the APC, shifting the local balance of power.
- Festus Keyamo, Minister of Aviation, publicly urged APC members and Nigerians to unite behind Tinubu’s 2027 bid, emphasizing the importance of finishing ongoing reforms.
- Keyamo portrayed his decision to cede APC leadership in Delta to the defected governor as a sacrifice for unity, highlighting the price of ambition in politics.
- He warned that disrupting Tinubu’s agenda could lead to another cycle of abandoned policies — a familiar frustration for many Nigerians.
- For citizens facing daily economic hardship, the idea of "continuity" triggers reflection: Will it bring real reform, or simply entrench old struggles under a new name?
