‘Very disrespectful’ – Keyamo Slams Atiku For Calling Tinubu ‘Bola’

The Minister of Aviation and Aerospace Development, Festus Keyamo, has taken a swipe at the African Democratic Congress, ADC, presidential candidate, Atiku Abubakar over his repeated reference to President Bola Ahmed Tinubu as “Bola” during a press conference in Abuja.

In a post on his verified X handle, Keyamo described the manner in which Atiku addressed the President as ‘disrespectful and discourteous.’

According to him, political differences should not affect the dignity attached to the office of the President.

His criticism came after Atiku addressed newsmen on Friday on the rising cost of petrol, government intervention and the economic difficulties facing Nigerians.

“The continuous reference to President Bola Tinubu by His Excellency, ex-Vice-President Atiku Abubakar, in his press conference earlier as ‘Bola’ is very disrespectful and discourteous.

“He should know better that no matter your differences with Mr President, for the sake of the country, that office should be accorded all the dignity it deserves. The tone reeks of pain and bitterness in his heart,” Keyamo said.

Recall that Atiku, during the press conference at his Abuja residence, asked Tinubu to take immediate steps to bring down the cost of petrol.
