Keyamo Claims Atiku's Anger at Tinubu Reflects Pain

Festus Keyamo, the Minister of Aviation and Aerospace Development, commented on Atiku Abubakar's hostility towards President Bola Tinubu, attributing it to pain and bitterness following Atiku's political defeat. Keyamo characterized Atiku's recent verbal attacks as manifestations of "agitated depression," suggesting that Atiku is struggling to cope with the fact that Tinubu secured the presidency on his first attempt.

Keyamo recalled their historical political relationship, noting that Atiku was once seen as politically superior when both were in office, with Tinubu as Governor of Lagos State and Atiku as Vice President. He emphasized that Tinubu's success was a result of various factors, including fate and political skill, contrasting it with Atiku's long-standing ambition since 1993.

Keyamo urged those close to Atiku to provide support rather than encourage his public outbursts, warning that such behavior could alienate his remaining supporters and lead him toward "political oblivion." He concluded by quoting Ecclesiastes 9:11, highlighting that political power is determined by divine timing.
