Festus Keyamo, spokesman of the All Progressives Congress
(APC) presidential campaign council, has mocked Peter Obi, standard bearer of
the Labour Party (LP).
Keyamo’s attack on Obi came a day after Ayo Adebanjo, leader
of Afenifere, a Yoruba socio-cultural group, explained why his organisation is
supporting Obi.
“The south-west, as I have pointed out, has produced a
president and currently sits as VP; the south-south has spent a total of 6
years in the presidency, but the Igbo people of the south-east have never
tasted presidency in Nigeria, and now that the power is due back in the south,
equity demands that it be ceded to the Igbo,” Adebanjo had said in a statement.
“We cannot continue to demand that the Igbo people remain in
Nigeria, while we at the same time continue to be brutally marginalize and
exclude them from the power dynamics.”
But in a tweet on Tuesday, Keyamo said the presidential
candidates Afenifere backed in 2015 and 2019 failed at the polls.
“Propelled by a long-held animosity against Tinubu, in 2015,
the Pa Ayo Adebanjo Afenifere endorsed Jonathan for President –
vanguardngr.com/2015/01/afenif…. In 2019, they endorsed Atiku –
vanguardngr.com/2019/02/electi…. In both cases, they failed,” he tweeted.
“Congrats, Peter Obi on this endorsement.”
