Finally, The Chicken Is Coming Home To Roost — Festus Keyamo Breaks Silence Over Obi-Atiku Alliance

Nigeria’s Minister of Aviation and Aerospace Development, Festus Keyamo, has launched a scathing attack on former Labour Party presidential candidate Peter Obi, anticipating a public justification for Obi allegedly accepting a vice-presidential slot under Atiku Abubakar in the 2027 elections.

In a widely circulated post on X (formerly Twitter) on Monday, December 29, 2025, Keyamo wrote: “Finally, the chicken is coming home to roost: I understand that someone, somewhere has drafted and redrafted the statement he will release to hoodwink his ‘supporters’ on why he has accepted to be Vice-Presidential candidate after a primaries that he knows has long been concluded.”

Keyamo continued: “He has written and torn drafts upon drafts, containing the normal gibberish of ‘my desire to rescue Nigeria’, bla, bla bla. It’s a tough one for him, but we are excited at the prospect of unmasking a true turncoat and a fraud at the coming campaigns.”

The minister urged followers to “bookmark this tweet so we can all read his statement with some derision when it is eventually released,” while noting that comments would reveal those “whose raw nerves have been seriously affected.”
