Nigeria Airways - Tinubu Clearing Mess Your Government Created, Keyamo Tells Atiku
Keyamo said Tinubu approved N36 billion to settle unpaid pensions and gratuities for former Nigeria Airways workers after the 2004 liquidation.
- On Wednesday, Minister of Aviation and Aerospace Development Festus Keyamo accused former Vice President Atiku Abubakar of hypocrisy, arguing Atiku's criticism of the current administration overlooks his past role in the 2004 liquidation of Nigeria Airways.
- The 2004 liquidation left thousands of Nigeria Airways employees unpaid for 22 years, until President Bola Ahmed Tinubu recently approved N36bn to settle outstanding pension and gratuity liabilities for the affected families.
- Keyamo described Atiku's political maneuvering as "the proper posturing of a con artist," alleging the candidate attempts to "hoodwink" younger Nigerians with "a cloud of rhetorical gibberish" rather than addressing his own record.
- Separately, Vice President Kashim Shettima criticized Atiku during the All Progressives Congress Presidential Campaign Council inauguration on Wednesday, stating the candidate is "no Abraham Lincoln."
- Shettima also cautioned Nigerians against listening to what he described as "voodoo economists," arguing they lack understanding of modern economic dynamics, while warning the APC will respond to insults during the 2027 election campaign.
