Festus Keyamo, a Senior Advocate
of Nigeria (SAN) and Spokesperson of the All Progressives Congress’
presidential campaign council has slammed critics for deriding the people of
Zamfara State for voting President Muhammadu Buhari during the presidential
election on February 23, 2019.
Keyamo said this after the
Speaker of the Zamfara State House Assembly, Alhaji Sanusi Rikiji, on Friday
said no fewer than 50 persons, including members of Civilian Joint Task Force
(CJTF) were killed in the state on Tuesday.
Recall that President
Muhammadu Buhari of the All Progressives Congress (APC) defeated his closest
opponent, Alhaji Atiku Abubakar of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP), with
313,259 votes in Zamfara State.
But some critics, in reacting to
the development, faulted President Buhari’s victory by asking if Zamfara’s
voter turnout was higher than Lagos or is banditry conducive to high voter
turnout?
However, Keyamo, responded to the
critics via his Twitter handle on Monday; saying “Those who’re deriding the
people of Zamfara for voting PMB, despite security challenges, are not really
shaming them; they’re rather shaming their own Presidential candidate who, in
spite of these challenges, was never considered a trustworthy alternative to
PMB by the Zamfara people”
