Festus Keyamo, the minister of state for labour and jobs, questioned Peter Obi, the 2023 Labour Party presidential candidate, if he ignored the deluge of congratulatory texts he received when sworn in a while his opponents were in court.
Festus Keyamo’s verified social media account disapproved of Peter Obi’s dismay over US Secretary of State Blinken calling President-elect Bola Tinubu.
The minister, who was a leading spokesperson for the All Progressives Congress, APC, presidential campaign council, noted that Peter Obi, who was sworn in as governor of Anambra state for a second term, accepted the messages he received from people around the world, even while opponents were still trying to challenge the result at the Tribunal.
He asked why Obi misled people after responding to Anthony Blinken’s appeal to Tinubu.
After Anthony Blinken spoke at length with the president-elect of Nigeria, Peter Obi vented on his verified social media account.
“Sir, when you won your second term as Governor of Anambra State, your opponents were in the Tribunal when you were sworn in, and you received congratulations from throughout Nigeria and the world.” You declined their congrats because your opponents were in court? Why are you misleading these basically helpless mob following you? Why”
