Atiku suffering from agitated depression – Keyamo

The Minister of Aviation and Aerospace Development, Festus Keyamo, has criticized the African Democratic Congress presidential candidate, Atiku Abubakar, alleging that he is suffering from agitated depression. Keyamo made this statement on his official X handle, expressing his concern over Atiku's recent outbursts and emotional state.

He claims that Atiku is now pained and bitter due to President Bola Tinubu outsmarting him politically. This criticism comes after Atiku had criticized Tinubu's 30-day petrol price discount, which was announced by the Minister of Finance and Coordinating Minister of the Economy, Taiwo Oyedele. Keyamo explained that Atiku, who has been contesting since 1993, feels humiliated that Tinubu secured the presidency on his first attempt while he was in the political arena for decades.

He noted that Atiku was once seen as higher in the political hierarchy, having served as Tinubu's Vice President when the latter was Lagos governor. Keyamo urged Atiku's allies to offer mental health support rather than encouraging his aggressive behavior, warning that his actions could lead to the loss of his remaining supporters as he faces political defeat.
