Phrank Shaibu, Special Assistant on Public Communication to former Vice President Atiku Abubakar, has lambasted Minister of Aviation and Aerospace Development, Festus Keyamo, over his recent comments regarding opposition politics and Labour Party’s Peter Obi.
In a post on X (formerly Twitter), Shaibu mocked Keyamo, accusing him of turning himself into an “unsolicited political adviser” and “campaign spokesman” for Peter Obi.
The remarks follow Keyamo’s suggestion that the African Democratic Congress (ADC), recently adopted as the coalition platform for opposition parties, should offer Peter Obi its 2027 presidential ticket.
Responding, Shaibu stated:
“@fkeyamo, in your panic-stricken desperation—gripped by the looming shadow of an unstoppable opposition coalition—you have shamelessly reinvented yourself as both @PeterObi’s campaign spokesman and his unsolicited political adviser.”
He went on to assert that Keyamo’s remarks betray deep fear over the growing strength of the opposition coalition and predicted that the unity of opposition forces would prove historic.
“This time, we see through the game. This time, there will be no splitting of votes, no scattering of resolve. The coalition stands united, our mission is clear, and your exit is inevitable,” Shaibu warned.
He concluded with a sharp jab:
“Accept our deepest sympathies in advance—for what is coming will be historic.”
Keyamo, a staunch supporter of the ruling All Progressives Congress (APC), is yet to respond to the fiery remarks.
