APC Benefits from Atiku, Obi Ambitions — Keyamo
Minister of Aviation and Aerospace Development Festus Keyamo has said the All Progressives Congress stands to benefit from the separate presidential ambitions of Atiku Abubakar and Peter Obi in the 2027 election.
Keyamo made the remarks on Friday, 13 November 2026, during an interview on Frontline, a current affairs programme on Eagle 102.5 FM.
He said the ruling party would prefer both opposition figures to contest so that their supporters do not unite under one candidate.
“It is in our interest that Atiku Abubakar and Obi run, so that all opposition will not gather under one umbrella,” Keyamo stated.
The minister dismissed claims that the Federal Government or the APC was using state institutions to frustrate the opposition.
He insisted that the judiciary was simply responding to genuine complaints from members of the African Democratic Congress over its leadership crisis.
Keyamo added that the more the opposition remains in disarray, the better for the APC.
