"Tinubu Clearing Up The Mess You Left in Nigeria Airways!" - Keyamo Slams Atiku
Minister of Aviation and Aerospace Development, Festus Keyamo SAN on Wednesday disclosed that President Bola Tinubu is clearing the mess former Vice-President Atiku Abubakar left behind in the liquidation of Nigeria Airways.
Keyamo who made the claim in a post on his X account, accused Atiku of “hypocrisy at its peak.”
He said the President has released N36 billion to settle workers’ unpaid entitlements.
He was reacting to a message by Atiku, the presidential candidate of the African Democratic Congress ADC, who blamed the Tinubu administration for the rising cost of living in the country.
Atiku said “Bola made life expensive” and promised, “I will work to make life affordable again.” He also urged registered voters to collect their Permanent Voter Cards PVCs.
Keyamo said he would speak only on the sector he heads. “Let me just talk only about the sector that I head, Aviation,” he wrote.
He recalled that “In September, 2004, when you were Vice-President, your Government woke up one morning and liquidated Nigeria Airways, throwing thousands of Nigerians out of jobs and into sorrow and pain.”
The minister said the workers’ suffering did not end there. “To add salt into their wounds, you refused to pay them their pensions and gratuities, running into billions of Naira,” he said.
According to him, Tinubu has now taken on the debt. “Twenty-two years later, after many of them have died out of frustration, President Bola Ahmed Tinubu is now clearing the mess you left behind.
“Over a month ago, Mr President approved and released the total sum of N36 billion to bring succour to these families.
[b]They have started receiving alerts and praying for Mr. President. In fact, the President was given an Award for this by the workers’ union a few weeks ago.
Yet you sit down there and pontificate?
It is only the younger ones who don’t know your history you can attempt to hoodwink, but we will expose you to them. You cannot disguise your inordinate ambition in a cloud of rhetorical gibberish."[/b]
The minister also accused Atiku of picking and choosing when to own the record of the government he served in under former President Olusegun Obasanjo.
"When it is convenient for you, you claim some credit of the Obasanjo-Atiku government and when not convenient, you say Obasanjo was in charge and not you as Vice-President. The proper posturing of a con artist!” Keyamo said.
Reference: You mean foreign investor..,.. Abeg we need them to 'stabilize' the economy since the only thing we know how to do is build white elephants....
SHUT UP AND STOP TALKING RUBBISH.
THE ROADS YOU TRAVEL ON, AND THE SCHOOLS AND HOSPITALS AND RAIL NETWORKS, AIRPORTS AND FACTORIES ALL OVER THE COUNTRY, ARE THEY "WHITE ELEPHANTS"?
JUST COMING ONLINE TO TYPE NONSENSE OUT OF INFERIORITY COMPLEX.
THE CASE WILL NOT BE DROPPED SO LONG AS THERE'S EVIDENCE OF A CRIME.
RIGHT NOW THERE ARE CHINESE, INDIANS AND OTHER FOREIGNERS EITHER DEPORTED OR IN JAIL IN NIGERIA, AND YOU CANNOT PAY YOUR WAY OUT OF PRISON IN NIGERIA ONCE YOU'RE CONVICTED BY A COURT OF COMPETENT JURISDICTION.
nairalanda1: Nigeria is not a producing country, beyond the refinery, it's a country that relies on the income it gets from oil to have something of a economy..
DO YOU ACTUALLY REALISE THAT OIL AND ACCOUNTS FOR LESS THAN 20% OF NIGERIA'S GDP?
GO SCHOOL YOU NO GREE. LEARN ON GOOGLE OR AI YOU NO GREE.
business360: Ai is just a search engine bro. It compile everything already on the internet. Its not a place you go when you need to fact check something like this
AI is what you are calling a "search engine"?
Who did this to you Nigerian youths? You don't know anything.
"Not a Single Lump Sum: A common misunderstanding is that ₦15 trillion was taken out of the national treasury all at once. In reality, this is a projected estimate for an 8-year construction timeline. The money is meant to be released gradually in phases through annual budgets, international loans, and partnership funds."
So Falana doesn't know this, and yet he calls himself a lawyer? Why didn't he research the financing structure of the project before blurting out his drunken accusations?
Did he gain his law degree from the University of Ajegunle or what? How embarrassing. He's a mediocre.
Rossik, this is what your faaake pan Afrcanism brought upon you.
It tjis how to acheive your fathom Pan Africanism by defending failures and kriminals?
Why is that whenever somebody tells you the Truth on this forum, you start calling me?
I feel honoured actually, because it means I say the right thing when necessary, unlike you people that lack objectivity and base your views on primitive ethnic sentiments.
You need to join the modern world and stop being so primitive in your outlook on life.
Beremx: Okpebholo is high again spewing trash as usual. If Tinubu didn't turn Nigeria to US and UK in the last four years, what makes him think it will happen in the next four years? Edo people, make una warn una D7 parallel Governor o!!
BECAUSE IT DOESN'T TAKE ONLY ONLY 4 YEARS TO TRANSFORM THE ECONOMY!!!!
WHAT TYPE OF VILLAGE REASONING IS THIS?
NAME ME ONE COUNTRY ON EARTH THAT TRANSFORMED IN 4 YEARS.
2016v2017: Mazi Nnamdi Kanu the wise man,once said to the Igbo polithiefcians, SERVE THEM AND RETURN BACK IN SHAME . Soludo, Devil Umahi, Hopeless Uzodimma, Orji Uzo Kalu,Amaechi, etc. must definitely RETURN BACK HOME IN SHAME. Rochas Okorocha,how far,how market?
SO IF OKOROCHA COMMITS CRIMES, THEY SHOULD LEAVE HIM BECAUSE HE'S IGBO?
SUPPORTING APC IS NOT A PASSPORT TO COMMIT CRIMES.
seunmsg: Where is the international attention, attention over what exactly? Apart from Ikemefuna Okeke posting on his social media handles, which international attention is the dead case getting? Can you bring up evidence of this international attention?
This whole nonsense exists only only on Nairaland and some fools' twitter page.
Every Lagos kitchen cabinet who was employed by the faaake certttifficcate hollldderr must surrender their Passport after the kriminal is disgraced.
As for Umahi, they will teach him the lesson of his existence inside "one Nigeria". He learnt nothing from Emiefele who is been used as a scape goat for the failures of his darling daddy.
He has been mentioning the faaake certttifficcate hollldderr in all his statement and press release forgetting when that long arm of justice touches him the faaake certttifficcate hollldderr will not be there
The borders must be tigthened to prevent these set of ev*l from.escaping prosecution and justice
The parapoism and tribal supremacy this Set of creatures introduced into Nigeria will hunt them more than the country Nigeria.
All this noise and abuse, yet you will still lose at the polls...
I actually feel sorry for you....All this effort for nothing..
Does Peter Obi even know you exist?
His wife's handbags cost $150,000 each. He just sees your type as footsoldiers for his bank account.
Nigerian zombies are even the worst, at least the zombies for US dey see food chop and they enjoy basic amenities
But Nigerian zombies, hunger wan kill their papa and they lack basic amenities.
SHUT UP THERE.
HERE'S A VIDEO SHOWING THOUSANDS OF LOW IQ TRUMP SUPPORTERS QUEUEING UP AT FOOD BANKS, IE GOVT FOOD HANDOUTS, TO AVOID STARVATION.
TRUMP'S POLICIES EG HIS BARBARIC ATTACK ON IRAN, HAVE LED TO SKY-HIGH FUEL AND DIESEL PRICES, AND HIS CORE SUPPORTERS, THE POOR, RACIST, UNEDUCATED WHITES, ARE THE ONES SUFFERING NOW.
THEY VOTED FOR TRUMP OUT OF RACIST HATE FOR BLACK AND BROWN PEOPLE, THINKING HIS POLICIES WOULD ONLY HURT THOSE GROUPS.
LordLicifer: They are not stupid or low IQ as you describe them. These people managed to work for years buy their own houses pay their mortgages, pass their driving tests, some are qualified proffessionals, who have children and grand children. The problem is the democrats made these people to support Trump, they are rebelling against the democrats. The more people insult Trump the more his supporters support him.
Like here in Naigeria where some people still supports corrupt tiffing politicians who made their lives a struggle.
So don't sit in a small hut in nigeria label people you don't know stupid or low IQed.
SHUT UP.
He doesn't live in a hut.
His house could be better than those wooden bungalows in America those LOW IQ TRUMP SUPPORTERS live in.
That someone passed a driving test or has a mortgage doesn't mean they're not ignorant and stupid with LOW IQ.
To support Trump, a 34 felony convicted criminal, fraudster and rapist, who LIES every time he opens his mouth....to vote for such a person to become the US President is a sign of VERY LOW IQ.
UNDERSTOOD?
MANY OF HIS SUPPORTERS ARE those rural white farmers who needed MEXICAN FARM WORKERS to keep their farms productive and working.
And guess what? The OVERWHELMING MAJORITY of them voted for Trump, a man who promised daily to deport immigrants.
Today their farms are dead, with no workers, and they are on Tiktok and YouTube crying, saying they regret voting for him.
TheStoriesOfMan: He explained that samples of water and sand had been sent to Europe for testing to ensure the quality of the grass to be installed at the stadium.
Something wey UNILAG go run for their lab with 99.5% accuracy, you carry am go Europe.
Why do government officials love wasting money?
It likely didn't even OCCUR to them to send the samples to a Nigerian university to test.
