‘Nigeria dodged a massive howitzer,’ Keyamo slams Obi over public funds comment

Resumen del corpus

The Minister of Aviation and Aerospace Development, Festus Keyamo, strongly criticized the NDC presidential candidate, Peter Obi, for suggesting that Nigeria could become wealthier if public funds were kept in banks to earn interest. Keyamo dismissed Obi's remarks as unintelligent and linked them to a decline in the former governor's approval ratings, stating that Nigeria had successfully avoided a major crisis. Obi had previously argued that public projects should speak for themselves regarding the use of public funds.
