Special Adviser on Public Communications to former Vice President, Atiku Abubakar, Phrank Shaibu, has dismissed claims by the Minister of Aviation and Aerospace Development, Festus Keyamo, that a chieftain of the African Democratic Congress, ADC, Peter Obi, deceived his followers.

This was as Shaibu also dismissed Keyamo’s claim that Obi joined ADC because he wanted to be running mate and not President. Posting on X, Shaibu noted that ADC is not Atiku’s “property” as claimed by Keyamo.

According to Shaibu, this rant of yours is built on guesswork dressed up as certainty. First, PeterObi did not defect. He didn’t sneak anywhere and he didn’t deceive anyone. He has been part of the coalition from the start. His public statement is confirmation, not betrayal.

Second, branding the ADC coalition as the “property” of @atiku is either ignorance or deliberate mischief. Coalitions are built by agreement, not ownership. No candidate has been imposed.

Third, your fixation on a VP narrative exposes your fear, not Obi’s intentions. You claim knowledge of agreements you cannot prove and decisions that do not exist. That is not analysis, it is projection, or better still, political voodoo.

Fourth, spare Nigerians the sermon about moral high ground. What truly unsettles you is that the opposition is organising calmly and strategically, while your side relies on noise, insults, and intimidation.

Fifth, stop insulting Nigerians. People are hungry, unsafe, and struggling. They know their reality, and that reality is what frightens you.

What exists is simple: a coalition determined to remove a failed administration through the ballot. That inevitability explains this outburst.

Come 2027, Nigerians will speak, not because of your insults or threats, but because of their lived experience. The game has begun. But shouting is not strategy. And arrogance is not leadership. Nigeria is not a monarchy. Power is not inherited. And 2027 is not yours by entitlement.

esnbrutality:
Since his movement to ADC, they have been crying and gnashing their teeth senselessly.

From

Onanuga in Aso Rock

to

Domperigon and his RONU-bandit crew of failures.

Pain everywhere!!!

aworatak:
They claim to have 2027 elections in the bag yet they become jittery when Okwute sneezes or coughs.

Gotocourt:
Barr. FESTUS KEYAMO doesn't want to be jobless, he gets upset with southern candidates. He spoke about Goodluck Jonathan, now PETER OBI.
Hand go soon touch agbádorianss

Burob:
Don’t mind Festus Kenyamo, only northern candidates like President Bola Tinubu he likes to support.

asfrank:
My own be say make everybody stay after primary election...

Think say Atiku form coalition for someone else to come and try his luck.
The way power sweet Atiku, the man moves in a full convoy that rivals most state Governor's. And you think he will easily deny himself the chance of being the No.1 in Nigeria?
The best deal Obi is going to get in ADC is VP. He promised to be on the ballot, he didn't promise which position.

Don’t mind Festus Kenyamo, only northern candidates like President Bola Tinubu he likes to support.

What is happening on Nairaland sef ..

Gotocourt:
Atiku's convoy during the last election era was crazy. It's going to be a disaster if Obi doesn't settle for VP 📌💯.

tunjijones:
Atiku will not step down for obi and everyone knows that already.

Afriifa:
This 2027 go funny ooo. Except the court stops interfering in our elections and INEC are compelled to do credible elections else, what we have in Nigeria as election is usually a show of shame.

hatchy:
And so what, even if Obi decides to deputise him it doesn't matter. What matters is that Tinubu will be kicked out.

Tinubu is One Term President OTP

tunjijones:
Okay... So you prefer Atiku to Tinubu... Thata cool.

But we both know that Tinubu will still beat both of them combined together....
