Atiku's Aide Challenges Keyamo on Tinubu's Record

In the lead-up to the 2027 general elections, Phrank Shaibu, a senior special assistant to former Vice President Atiku Abubakar, has responded to claims made by Festus Keyamo, the Minister of Aviation and Aerospace Development, regarding President Bola Tinubu's political achievements. Shaibu argues that past political triumphs cannot substitute for addressing present-day realities, such as rising hunger and insecurity in Nigeria.

He criticizes the current administration's performance, stating that no amount of political rhetoric can mask the failures faced by ordinary Nigerians. Shaibu emphasizes that the electorate will judge leadership based on current living conditions rather than historical narratives.

He highlights the disconnect between the government and the citizens, asserting that the focus should be on delivering tangible results that improve the quality of life for Nigerians, rather than relying on recycled political tactics. This exchange underscores the intensifying political positioning among key actors as the country gears up for the elections.
