Co-convener of BringBackOurGirls, Aisha Yesufu, has
lampooned Festus Keyamo over a comment on Twitter.
The Minister of State for Labour and Employment had
criticized those he suggested were taking sides on Nigerian issues.
On Saturday, Keyamo said their moral assertions were all
political views
He tweeted: “The hypocrites amongst us are those who claim
to be politically non-aligned, but curiously and constantly make excuses for
those in one political party whilst always vilifying others. Their so-called
moral postulations are nothing but carefully packaged and veiled political
views.”
Responding, Aisha stated that the lawyer had changed.
She reminded the minister how he accepted to handle cases of
human rights violation free of charge.
Aisha tweeted: “Sadly my brother, that is now you. I
remember a time I would without hesitation call you to tell you of human rights
violations and you would immediately ask your firm to take it on pro bono.
Today in govt, those human rights violations are happening & you are
focused on 774k jobs.”
Under the Special Public Works Programme, 1,000 Nigerians
are to be employed from each of the 774,000 local government areas.
But the take-off of the scheme has not been smooth amid
opposition by the National Assembly and some states.
In June, a meeting of Senate/Reps Joint Committee on Labour
with Keyamo ended abruptly after a shouting match.
Rivers State Government pulled out of the programme early
August.
