Festus Keyamo, the minister of aviation, has implied that Christians will not back the 2027 presidential ticket that features Mr. Peter Obi and former Vice President Atiku Abubakar.
Pastors in Nigeria won’t go out to campaign for an 80-year-old Muslim president, according to Keyamo.
This was said by the Minister when answering questions on Sunday Politics on Channels TV.
“I want to do a small expo, but it’s an expo that won’t help them in any way,” he stated. You know what they’re working on? They want to reunite Atiku and Peter Obi.
“Once you make Obi the deputy to Atiku, the Christian demography will pull out of that 6 million votes Obi won in 2023.
“Don’t forget that the President also has a pastor who is a wife. So that Christian demographic we will snatch some of them and increase our votes.
“Don’t forget too that South-East demography that supported him, once it’s Atiku, they will pull out. They will not support him.
“The pastors cannot come out campaigning for an 80-year-old Muslim president. They will not do that. So they will lose that demography.”
