Keyamo Condemns Atiku for Disrespecting President Tinubu

Aviation Minister Festus Keyamo publicly rebuked former Vice-President Atiku Abubakar for repeatedly referring to President Bola Tinubu by his first name, "Bola," during a press conference. Keyamo expressed that this conduct was disrespectful to the office of the president and posted his reaction on X. He stated that Atiku's manner of address was discourteous and fell short of the respect that the presidency deserves, regardless of political disagreements.

Keyamo also pointed out a contradiction in Atiku's statements, noting that Atiku had previously claimed that President Tinubu is older than him, yet addressed him informally. This incident highlighted Keyamo's broader criticism that Atiku's behavior was driven by personal grievances rather than principled opposition.

Additionally, Keyamo reacted positively to a recent poll indicating that President Tinubu was leading ahead of Atiku Abubakar in the upcoming 2027 general elections.
