2023: ‘Tinubu Will Respect Rule Of Law If Elected’ – Keyamo; Netizens Lash Him

By Akinwale Kasali

Festus Keyamo, the All Progressives Congress, APC, Presidential Campaign Council, Chief Spokesperson has said that Presidential candidate, Bola Tinubu will respect the rule of law and make it a policy in his administration.

Keyamo also said that his candidate will not abuse the rule of law, having been a victim of military brutality in his struggle for democracy.

Speaking in an interview with Punch Newspaper, the Senior Advocate of  Nigeria added that Tinubu has chronicled his proposed reform of the Nigerian Judiciary in his 80-page manifesto.

“We have his plan about reforms and respect for the rule of law in our manifesto. Tinubu himself who was one of the greatest victims of military brutality, whose government then in Lagos was a victim of disobedient of the Supreme Court Judgment regarding Local Government funds.

“He has been a victim of it. I believe he also knows where the shoe pinches. Among the four leading aspirants, as we called them even though we know they are three, none of them fought for Democracy as much as Asiwaju. This is what the media knows very well. It is not a matter of blowing one’s trumpet. We don’t have to prove anything as well. He is the even one that can be trusted more than anybody.”

But Social Media users had mixed reactions in their response to Keyamo.

@moshood12 said that it is disheartening that Keyamo could utter such statements that Tinubu will respect the rule of law, this basically shows that they know that President Muhammadu Buhari has never respected the rule of law, so who is deceiving who.

@adabache_20 wrote on his Twitter handle saying that Buhari has done his worse, Tinubu is coming on board to aggravate the sufferings of Nigeria. What is the assurance that he will respect the rule of law just like Buhari has failed to do so.

@mabuchi said that this is how we were deceived by this APC Government in 2015 and 2019, we won’t be fool again. We all know what the Court said about the incarceration of Nnamdi Kanu, Sambo Dasuki which the APC Government turned deaf ears to, now they are coming to deceive us, we are wise. Obidient is the answer.
