2027: ‘You’re a hypocrite’ – Keyamo tackles Atiku over criticism of Tinubu govt

Minister of Aviation and Aerospace Development Festus Keyamo denounced former Vice President Atiku Abubakar for hypocrisy in his recent criticism of President Bola Tinubu's administration. Keyamo alleged that Atiku's statements about the rising cost of living and insecurity in the country were at odds with his actions while in power during the Obasanjo-Atiku administration.

In a post on his X handle, Keyamo pointed to Atiku's role in the liquidation of Nigeria Airways in September 2004, which resulted in mass layoffs and unpaid pensions. He accused Atiku of refusing to pay the billions of Naira owed to these affected workers. Despite the current administration's efforts to address these debts, Keyamo accused Atiku of hypocrisy, noting that the former vice president could not criticize the Tinubu government while ignoring his own role in the past.

Keyamo stated that Atiku's attempt to disguise his ambition as genuine concern for the people was a clear indication of his disingenuous nature.
