Nigeria’s Minister of Aviation and Aerospace Development, Festus Keyamo, criticises former Vice President Atiku Abubakar, saying Atiku’s recent attacks on President Bola Tinubu are signs of “agitated depression.” Keyamo makes the claim in posts shared publicly on Friday, describing Atiku as bitter and pained following political developments.
Both outlets report Keyamo’s argument that Atiku’s hostile rhetoric stems from a sense of political loss, framing it as a psychological reaction to defeat. The reports describe this as a response to Atiku’s verbal broadsides against Tinubu, positioning Keyamo’s comments within an ongoing political back-and-forth between the ruling side and the opposition.
