Minister of Aviation and Aerospace Development, Festus Keyamo said President Bola Tinubu is 100 steps ahead of the opposition going into the 2027 general election.

He argued that every strategy currently being deployed by opposition leaders, including former Vice President Atiku Abubakar, Peter Obi and Rabiu Kwankwaso, were taken from Tinubu’s playbook.

The minister maintained that Tinubu honed these strategies from years of being in opposition, helping him to outfox the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) as the only opposition governor in the Southwest in 2007.

The senior lawyer stated this in an X post on Sunday, days after the opposition African Democratic Congress (ADC) and its leaders staged a protest in Abuja over alleged bias of the Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC).

Through its National Publicity Secretary, Mallam Bolaji Abdullahi, the ADC has vowed to continue its acts of civil disobedience until the resignation of Chairman of INEC, Prof. Joash Amupitan.

Keyamo stressed that Tinubu knows and understands every single step against him before the opposition conceive it.

He said, “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 and today, he has totally flipped the script on the PDP which could not outfox him as the only surviving opposition Governor in the South-West in 2007.

“Therefore, every step the opposition takes today and every strategy they adopt is from the playbook of President Asiwaju Bola Ahmed Tinubu. He knows and understands every single step against him before they even conceive it.

“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.”
