ENUGU, Nigeria (VOICE OF NAIJA)- Minister of Aviation and Aerospace Development, Festus Keyamo, has said that President Bola Tinubu remains far ahead of opposition figures politically, insisting that no rival can outplay him ahead of the 2027 general elections.
Keyamo made the assertion in a post on his verified X handle on Sunday, where he spotlighted Tinubu’s deep-rooted experience in opposition politics and strategic leadership.
“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 journey from opposition trenches to the presidency has given him a rare advantage that his opponents lack.
“Every step the opposition takes today and every strategy they adopt is from the playbook of President Asiwaju Bola Ahmed Tinubu,” he added.
Doubling down, the minister said the President remains significantly ahead of rival political actors in terms of strategy and political calculation.
“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 stated.
The comments come as political activities gradually intensify across party lines ahead of the 2027 elections, with both the ruling camp and opposition blocs quietly building momentum for what is expected to be a fiercely contested race.
