iDeemlawfulSome Nigerians have reacted after the Minister of Labour and employment, Festus Keyamo, subtly promoted the Labour Party (LP) presidential candidate, Peter Obi on National TV.
Keyamo, during an interview on Channels TV declared that the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) flagbearer, Atiku Abubakar is not tested and trusted like Peter Obi.
He argued that Atiku has only been the Vice President but the Vice President doesn’t have the final say in making decisions in government unlike both Obi and Bola Tinubu who have occupied Governorship positions, where they can make final decisions.
Keyamo added that Obi has more experience in making the final call in governance than Atiku and it would therefore be wrong to hand over the leadership of Nigeria to the PDP candidate come 2023.
This statement sparked reactions from some Nigerians who said that the spokesman of Tinubu’s presidential campaign team was openly endorsing and promoting the LP flagbearer.
