2027: Heaven won’t fall if Atiku isn’t on the ballot, Keyamo says

Nigeria’s Minister of Aviation and Aerospace Development, Festus Keyamo, said the country would face no catastrophe if Atiku Abubakar were absent from the ballot in the 2027 presidential election. He was reacting to a Federal High Court ruling that nullified Atiku’s nomination by the African Democratic Congress (ADC) and invalidated the party executive led by David Mark. Keyamo urged opposition figures to respect court decisions, citing the 2019 ruling in Zamfara and the 2020 Bayelsa ruling, which the APC accepted despite their political consequences.
