Festus Keyamo, the minister of Aviation and Aerospace Development, shared a photo of himself with a man he referred to as the tallest man in the United Arab Emirates (UAE).
Keyamo, who was part of President Bola Tinubu’s entourage on a recent trip, shared the photo on Tuesday, September 12, on Instagram.
According to Keyamo, the man whose name he did not disclose, stands at seven feet and five inches tall.
The minister wrote: “After my official engagements today and after seeing off Mr. President to the airport, I met the tallest man in the UAE and the third tallest in the World by Guinness Book of Records.
“He stands at 226 centimetres (seven feet and five inches) tall. He is a doorman at the Emirates Palace in Abu Dhabi and he is 59. Just to compare, I stand at 6 feet 2 inches.”
Meanwhile, Keyamo had hailed President Tinubu for bringing an end to the diplomatic rift between Nigeria and the UAE.
He said:
“Special thanks to President Bola Ahmed Tinubu @officialABAT for personally leading our delegation to end this impasse with the UAE.
“All credit goes to him. His Midas touch during the discussion was crucial. He just made my job easier!”
