Minister of Aviation, Festus Keyamo, has alleged that former Vice President Atiku Abubakar is seeking to leverage Peter Obi to secure votes in a bid to become President, describing the strategy as a flawed arrangement that could undermine Nigeria’s fragile unity.

In a post shared on his verified X handle on Thursday, Keyamo claimed that Obi is backing the move for personal interests, accusing him of sacrificing the nation’s collective good in pursuit of a vice-presidential slot.
The minister added that he feels sorry for Obi’s supporters, whom he said are being misled into a political dead end by what he described as cunning and seasoned political actors.
“Atiku wants to camouflage with Peter Obi and surreptitiously secure his votes and become President on a flawed template that will damage our fragile unity as a nation. And Peter Obi is supporting this contraption for selfish reasons – throwing the entire country under the bus for a mess of pottage called a VP ticket. He will soon learn in a hard way.
“Commiserations to the naive Obi supporters who are being led into a dead end by wily, old war horses in politics. They will all come back to thank us later after the disaster to which they are all heading,” he said.
