POWER GAME: KEYAMO CLAIMS OBI DEAL WON’T SAVE KWANKWASO IN 2027
Minister of Aviation and Aerospace Development Festus Keyamo has issued a stark warning to former Kano State Governor Rabiu Musa Kwankwaso, saying his presidential ambition is fast running out of road as the 2027 election approaches — with Peter Obi and the major political parties already reshaping the battlefield.
In a strongly worded statement on Sunday, Keyamo said Kwankwaso’s refusal to align early with the All-Progressives Congress (APC) has left him politically stranded, boxed into what he described as one of the tightest corners of his career.
According to Keyamo, Kwankwaso’s problem is simple but brutal: he wants to be President, yet no major party is willing to hand him the ticket in 2027.
“The APC and PDP are tilting South. ADC is already Atiku’s terrain. Only a major political party can win the Presidency in Nigeria,” Keyamo said, dismissing Kwankwaso’s NNPP as a fragile, one-state platform struggling to survive defections in Kano.
Keyamo argued that the steady collapse of NNPP’s structure, including the loss of key figures and the governor, has exposed the limits of Kwankwaso’s influence.
“A leader is only as strong as the people standing with him,” he said, questioning whether Kwankwaso can still command Kano in 2027.
