Minister of Aviation and Aerospace Development, Festus Keyamo, has stated that while the All Progressives Congress (APC) is not made up of “saints,” it remains a better political alternative to the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP).
Keyamo made the remarks while addressing political developments within the country, stressing that no political party is perfect but that the APC has continued to pursue reforms aimed at improving governance and national development. According to him, political parties should be assessed based on their performance and willingness to correct mistakes rather than unrealistic expectations of perfection.
The minister argued that the APC-led administration has introduced policies designed to reposition key sectors of the economy, including aviation, infrastructure, and social welfare. He maintained that despite criticisms from opposition figures, the ruling party is committed to delivering long-term solutions to Nigeria’s economic and security challenges.
Keyamo also responded to criticisms from members of the PDP, noting that many of the structural issues currently facing Nigeria originated during previous administrations. He said the APC government has had to implement difficult reforms to stabilise the economy, even when such decisions were unpopular with sections of the public.
His comments have sparked mixed reactions among political observers and civil society groups. Supporters of the APC praised the minister for acknowledging imperfections within the ruling party while defending its record, whereas critics accused him of downplaying governance challenges and shifting blame to past administrations.
Political analysts say the statement reflects the ongoing rivalry between Nigeria’s major political parties as preparations gradually begin ahead of future electoral contests. They note that narratives around performance, accountability, and party credibility are likely to dominate public discourse in the coming months.
More reactions are expected from opposition leaders and stakeholders as the debate over party performance and national governance continues.
