'This is bad for your health, it's game over' - Festus Keyamo fires Atiku Abubakar

Minister of Aviation and Aerospace Development, Festus Keyamo has called on Atiku Abubakar, the presidential candidate of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) in the 2023 presidential election to apologize to President Bola Ahmed Tinubu and Nigerians.

This comes after the Chicago State University on orders by the Illinois United States (U.S.) court released Tinubu's academic records at the request of Atiku on Monday, October 2.

Reacting to the development, Keyamo in a series of posts shared on his X page (formerly known as Twitter), described Atiku's efforts as futile.

He noted that Atiku's loss at the February 25 presidential election, "hurt him deeply more than all his previous losses put together". The minister, however, urged the former vice president of Nigeria to accept his fate and retire to his peaceful abode.

Keyamo tweeted: "From the responses by Chicago State University, ATIKU’s journey to Chicago and back has been a journey to nowhere, a fruitless exercise and an odyssey in self-humiliation. President Tinubu and Nigerians deserve an unreserved apology from him."

"It is now obvious that the loss of ATIKU Abubakar at the last polls hurt him deeply more than all his previous losses put together; it has since sent him spinning like a drunkard, lashing out to hold on to every single straw that resembles a lifeline. This is bad for his health; he should accept that this game is over (as the Chicago State University responses have shown) and retire peacefully to his famed abode. Those around him have a role to play in this," the minister stressed.
