Keyamo slams Atiku over Nigeria Airways collapse

Minister of Aviation and Aerospace Development, Festus Keyamo, has criticized presidential candidate of the African Democratic Congress, Atiku Abubakar, for hypocrisy regarding the state of Nigeria. Keyamo pointed out that the administration Atiku served as vice-president liquidated Nigeria Airways in September 2004, resulting in thousands of workers losing their jobs and entitlements.

Keyamo stated, "Your Excellency, Atiku Abubakar, this is hypocrisy at its peak!" He claimed that former workers are still struggling to receive billions of naira in owed payments. President Bola Tinubu had approved and released N36bn to settle these outstanding payments, with beneficiaries starting to receive payment alerts. Keyamo accused Atiku of attempting to mislead younger Nigerians by taking credit for decisions made by the Obasanjo-Atiku government.
