The policy makers of the ruling All Progressives Congress are calling for the removal of Festus Keyamo from his position as Tinubu’s campaign spokesman.
A source close to Muhammadu Buhari, said the President and other officers close to him can no longer stand Keyamo’s constant demarketing of the current administration.
The source said, “Buhari has asked for the removal of Festus Keyamo as the party’s campaign spokesperson. The President accused him of always de-marketing his regime, describing the government in which he is a minister as a failed regime. He has been described as a loose cannon who is daily demarketing his regime as a failed regime. The cabal members are not happy.”
Keyamo had in a recent interview said Nigerians are hungry and are therefore can’t wait for Tinubu to come and end hunger instead of worrying about Muslim-Muslim ticket.
“Nigerians are hungry, they want to see how that hunger will be addressed, not how their Christian faith or Muslim faith will be addressed. They want to see our policies on agriculture and what Asiwaju has done before as governor of Lagos state, how he improved Lagos and how he will bring that kind of dexterity to Nigeria as a whole. That is what they want to see. How do we want to run the country? What do we want to tell Nigerians?”
The source also reported Boss Mustapha, the Secretary to the Government of the Federation, as saying “The SSG had to insist on Keyamo’s removal after his reckless outburst on Channels TV yesterday (Sunday). They have already informed the party leadership about this.”
