I think he is right on this. I don't see any reason to vote for Atiku because Obi is deputising him which would be a repeat of the 2019 elections.
Tinubu supporter spotted... We know una

Minister of Aviation and Aerospace Development, Festus Keyamo (SAN), has ridiculed the rising confidence of the opposition coalition to unseat the All Progressives Congress (APC), describing their political manoeuvres as outdated ‘419 formats’ that no longer fool Nigerians.

Lol. These guys are so scared of the collaboration between Atiku and Obi

They are jittery.

Nigerian politics is devoid of ideology so just vote according to your experiences in present day Nigeria. If you feel Nigeria is working vote continuity, if not vote for a change, simple. Let no one teleguide you on who to vote for.

When politicians realise the people will empower or remove them based on their performance then they will seek to perform, to work for the people instead of for themselves and their interest groups.

A country that has no money to pay decent wages, has no money to create jobs through enterprise has enough money for white elephant projets that benefit just a minute fraction of the population.

Very interesting...

APC now understands the dangers this coalition poses to them.

It's obvious they are very jiltery at the coalition. Hiw best can one explain the rationale behind such statement if fear has not spread across their camp.

The right thing to do, at this time, is for Obi to run as Atiku's vice. For that's the surest path to igno presidency... And the only way apc can ve wrestled out of power...

Speaking live on Channels TV, Festus Keyamo stated that the three major demographics that gave Peter Obi six million votes in the 2023 election would withdraw their support if Obi agrees to become Atiku Abubakar’s deputy.

He emphasized that both the Christian bloc and the South East region would pull out once Atiku is the flag bearer.
Obi cannot win if he goes for the presidential ticket.. Let him take one step at a time.
His best bet is to get some heavyweight from the north who can give him huge votes to win.
The de-facto political leader in the north who can do that today is Atiku Abubakar. Atiku/Obi ticket will defat Tinubu hands down!

How would it be for Obi who won two regions in 2033 be the deputy of Atiku who won just a region?

Tinubu won 3 regions

I don't understand why this so much noise about Peter Obi, you guys keep taking panadol extral on somebody's headache.... na wa oh...
Re: Festus Keyamo: Obi's Support Base Will Collapse If He Becomes Atiku’s Deputy by grandstar(m): 12:26pm On Aug 05, 2025
Only an Atiku and Peter Obi duo can beat Tinubu. Keyamo isn't being sincere.
Re: Festus Keyamo: Obi's Support Base Will Collapse If He Becomes Atiku’s Deputy by peterboro:
Mr Festus Kayamumu sir, please what is your business with our structure.
Our structure will deputise Atiku if that's what it will take to remove your useless gang from that aso rock.

Please take your advice to yourself and mind your business.

Atiku had more votes than Obi in 2023. Ultimately, it is the number of votes that matter, not how many regions/states you win.

We have heard you.

Allow Obi to play his game.

Even if Obi become VP, we will still clear you guys doubt and vote him.

We are not politically naive

Politics is calculation and patient game.

Why didn't tinubu run for president in his AC/ACN in 2007 & 2011 instead he invited Atiku and Nuhu Ribadu as he failed he went for colition with Buhari to form APC. 😂😂

If Atiku wins the primaries and choose Peter Obi as VP, we will vote them.
Oh is now that you know it's about patience, shey if he had calm down became vice during the last election under pdp will he have to wait for another 4 years or likely not even getting the power at all, as the incumbent is in power compare to the last election.

East will pull out nd vote for bulaba?
Re: Festus Keyamo: Obi's Support Base Will Collapse If He Becomes Atiku’s Deputy by obailala(m): 12:36pm On Aug 05, 2025
I agree with Festus! OBI will lose a large number of supporters, possibly up to 40%, if he agrees to deputise Atiku.

However, the remaining 60% OBI supporters + Atiku's followers + the mass of Nigerians tormented by hunger + the multitude of tribal northerners currently angry with Tinubu's perceived Yorubanisation, APC would be packing it's bags by 2027 if that coalition ever happens. Festus knows this too!
Re: Festus Keyamo: Obi's Support Base Will Collapse If He Becomes Atiku’s Deputy by histemple: 12:40pm On Aug 05, 2025
He is very correct. I am extremely optimistic that Peter Obi has the required competence and integrity to reposition Nigeria on the right track. And that is the only reason he enjoys so much support.

Going by our constitution, the office of the vice president is just like that of a house boy.

Atiku will make a terrible president. It is an error Nigeria must avoid making.

They're just playing mind games, they know if it happens Tinubu would be kicked out....... Obi's true supporters would follow him wherever he goes, besides he still got age on his side unlike Atiku.



Make APC rest! They don't wanna admit they're scared of the combination of Atiku and Obi.... Things would be different this time around, they've realized their mistake.

Akwara25:
Obi can never accept vice from any person including Tinubu... Keyamo just mind your business of 720 billion renovation of Leki Airport... Since you did not have shame and present such proposals for renovation of an airport, how much will you present in construction of new airport? Criminal in SAN attire....
Even if the political calculation suggests that Obi should be a VP we will still vote for him. In fact it makes our chance of winning the election brighter. Whoever the north follows will most likely win. The north will rather follow thier Atiku than a tinubu that has abandoned them and send more Nigerians into hunger so what are we talking about.

so atiku is no longer criminal establishment? The problem with Peter is he tried to much to be a saint, you can't be a politician and be a saint
Re: Festus Keyamo: Obi's Support Base Will Collapse If He Becomes Atiku’s Deputy by CSTRR: 1:14pm On Aug 05, 2025
So apc is more focused on obi's base, than their own governance?

What kind of madness is this?

An atiku/Obi ticket is their greatest fear, and they are doing everything possible for it for it not to happen.

Unfortunately, many of obi's supporters don't want to have sense, and support atiku as the flagbearer.

That is obvious na. Those who voted for Obi in 2023 won't settle for vp role.

ADC Atiku will reduce APC Tinubu and Wike PDP votes, thereby giving Obi the leverage
So your opponent will give you advice and you will accept it? Dey play.

Na you call am advice. His name is Peter Obi, his opponent should stop calling him Peter Obi. They should call him Mark Uche. If they call him Peter Obi, he should not answer them.

Sense is relative.
Obi will not be VP to Atiku.
