The Atiku-Okowa campaign has called on the Minister of State for Labour and Employment, Festus Keyamo, to step down from his position to avoid being viewed as a symbol of treachery.
In a statement issued yesterday in Abuja, Olusunle stated that Keyamo’s credibility is being damaged by his attempts to gain favor with his new employer by attacking the presidential candidate of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP), Atiku Abubakar.
The statement said: “This same man who told the world that a current APC chieftain killed the late Chief Bola Ige, is now busy dining with the same man, as they both prosecute the propaganda-laced presidential campaign of their party, the All Progressives Congress (APC).
“This same man, who went beyond concerns about someone’s involvement with narcotics trade in the United States and told the world that the man had dubious certificates, is now parroting the same man’s new-found saintly attributes.”
Olusunle accused Keyamo of prioritizing personal gain over serving the country as a minister, and using his position of power to harass and intimidate others. He also claimed that Keyamo’s interfering behavior is due to lack of activity in his ministry. “ His busybody meddlesomeness is a product of the almost zero schedule he operates in his ministry.” he said.
Olusunle urged President Buhari to dismiss Keyamo, asking him to justify his contributions to governance and administration during his tenure as minister, other than causing disruptions with a convoy of government vehicles and loud sirens.
“Can Keyamo tell Nigerians honestly and truthfully, how much value he has added to governance and administration over the past seven and half years of his service, except cruising around in a convoy of government sport utility vans and posing a public nuisance with the ever-blaring sirens of his entourage?”
