Keyamo tackles Atiku for calling Tinubu ‘Bola’, says it’s disrespectful

The Minister of Aviation and Aerospace Development, Festus Keyamo, has expressed his disapproval of former Vice-President and presidential candidate, Atiku Abubakar, for repeatedly calling President Bola Tinubu by his first name during a recent press conference. Keyamo described Atiku's actions as "very disrespectful and discourteous" and emphasized that the dignity of the presidency should be preserved, regardless of political differences.

He accused Atiku of speaking from a place of personal anger and bitterness. Keyamo also pointed out the inconsistency in Atiku's statements regarding the age difference between the two men, as he had previously claimed Tinubu was older than himself.
