Port Harcourt, Rivers State – Minister of Aviation and Aerospace Development, Festus Keyamo, don drop serious warning for the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP). According to am, dem go sharp bend for 2027 presidential game if dem choose former President Goodluck Jonathan or ex-Anambra governor Peter Obi as standard-bearer.
Keyamo begin yarn this matter for him X account on Sunday, talk say PDP dey in wahala after dem no fit zone dem 2023 ticket go South. Him say this wrong step na wetin make dem lose ground for South-South and South-East regions, places wey dem dey suppose hold like strongmen. (Chai! PDP, wetin you dey do like this?!)
Na so Keyamo argue say if dem decide to bring back Jonathan, e dey carry constitutional risk based on section 137(3) of 1999 Constitution. He don run am before, so wetin go happen if dem wan use am again? “If him dey run, PDP fit end up no get candidate at all,” na wetin Keyamo talk. (Omo, na serious gbege wey dey come if dem no check am well!)
As e go, Keyamo don tell us say dem no suppose dey expect miracle from PDP if dem still hold their head for South-West. E say no other region go agree vote for fresh Yoruba candidate wey wahala go face from entrenched APC structures. “Wetin this na?! You need at least three to four regions support, else you no fit crown king for this Nigeria.”
Keyamo still carry Peter Obi come inside matter, talk say if dem consider am, e no go solve anything. Him dey fear say the ‘obidients’ go see am as person wey don go back to in vomit. The principle ones no go fit shout for am as before. (E be like say na small wahala dey for PDP full ground!)
Keyamo conclude say PDP no fit run away from wetin him call dem “original sin.” Na for 2023 when dem fail to zone the ticket go South. If nothing extraordinary happen, dem go still dey wait till 2031 for better opportunity. “Young social media warriors fit waka come dey make mockery, but na the REALITY wey dey for our politics!”
Right now, PDP still dey silent like church mouse, no reaction from dem body yet. But you fit sure say e go be matter for ground soon. (Chai, this political gist no go end like this oh!)
