Keyamo Faults Peter Obi’s Proposal to Keep Public Funds in Banks for Interest

Aviation Minister Festus Keyamo has criticised Peter Obi over comments that Nigeria could have been wealthier if public funds were left in banks to earn interest rather than mismanaged. Obi made the remark during a radio interview in Nasarawa State, arguing that better handling of public resources could have strengthened the country’s finances. He also said his administration focused on projects rather than publicising government activities, since the work was funded with public money. Responding on social media, Keyamo rejected Obi’s position and said the former Anambra governor’s reasoning was flawed.
