Keyamo Critiques Atiku's Economic Claims Amid Hardship
Festus Keyamo, the Minister of Aviation, criticized former Vice-President Atiku Abubakar for his remarks regarding Nigeria's economic hardship and insecurity, accusing him of hypocrisy. Keyamo stated that only young Nigerians unaware of Atiku's political history could be misled by his claims.
He referenced the liquidation of Nigeria Airways in September 2004 and Atiku's tenure as vice-president under Olusegun Obasanjo, arguing that Atiku should be accountable for decisions made during that time. Keyamo noted that the Tinubu administration had approved N36 billion to settle outstanding entitlements owed to former workers of Nigeria Airways, with some beneficiaries already receiving payment notifications.
He described Atiku's criticism of the current administration as hypocritical, asserting that Atiku selectively claims credit for the achievements of the Obasanjo administration. Atiku had previously expressed concerns about rising living costs and insecurity, urging voters to collect their Permanent Voter Cards to demand political change.
