Festus Keyamo, the spokesperson for the All Progressives Congress’ (APC’s) presidential campaign, has been characterised as a troublesome interloper seeking attention for allegations of corruption against the Peoples Democratic Party’s (PDP’s) presidential candidate Atiku Abubakar.
In an interview with the press, Dele Momodu, a spokesperson for the PDP’s Atiku/Okowa presidential campaign, stated as much.
In the meantime, Festus Keyamo called for Atiku’s arrest and demanded that the EFCC and other anti-graft agencies investigate the former vice president after Micheal Achimugu claimed that he used Special Purpose Vehicles (SPVs) to steal public funds between 1999 and 2007. Festus Keyamo later sued the PDP presidential candidate.
In response, Momodu said that Keyamo had done more harm to the APC PCC’s presidential candidate than Atiku because of his behaviour in that capacity.

“I’m not in a position to speak about legal issues. As far as I’m concerned, Festus Keyamo is just a troublesome interloper who is looking for attention at all times. And what he has done with that is that he has done more damage to Tinubu than to Atiku.
“Senator Dino Melaye spoke on a television Programme and brought new insights to the issues because a lot of people who were not looking at it that way started seeing Tinubu in another light. What Dino said was that Nigeria cannot have a president who is a Pablo Escobar and a Vice President who is Osama bin Laden,” he said.
Speaking further, the Spokesman of Atiku/Okowa Presidential Campaign stated that while nobody is perfect, “nothing in Atiku compares as negatively as in Tinubu.”
Continuing, he maintained that Keyamo’s “gutter language and behaviour” have always called for his attacks against Tinubu, whom he described as his friend, adding that his duty is to defend Atiku.
“So, I don’t like it if I have to wrestle with a pig but he’s decided that that’s what he wants. Atiku has told us frontally and clearly that he wants to run issue-based campaign and you can see him. If you like slap him, he can turn the other cheek. That’s him, otherwise he would have replied Baba Obasanjo long ago. That is why that misperception was able to stick on him. But it is in the character of Fulani. They don’t make noise. A lot of us make noise about a lot of things whether we know the truth or we don’t know it; whether we have the facts or we don’t have it. We just like to whip up all kinds of things,” he said.
Momodu continued by saying that it was a waste of Tinubu’s money for Festus Keyamo, a Senior Advocate of Nigeria (SAN), to take his principal to court.
While comparing the accusations to the APC’s awareness of its potential loss to Atiku at the election in February, the Atiku/Okowa presidential campaign spokesman also said that despite a number of allegations against the APC presidential candidate, Bola Tinubu, his principal and the PDP chose to remain silent about it and “nobody touched him.”
“…they’re wasting it already on funding a serial blackmailer from escaping from Nigeria to wherever he’s hiding. Nobody is pursuing him. But we know the details, we know what happened and we know why he’s doing what he’s doing. That wasn’t the first time he would release the thing, he was looking for a potential buyer and they’ve bought it. So, when they go to court, we will see what will come out of it,” he said.
Howdy this is kinda of off topic but I was wondering if blogs use WYSIWYG editors or if you have to manually code with HTML. I’m starting a blog soon but have no coding knowledge so I wanted to get advice from someone with experience. Any help would be greatly appreciated!
