Festus Keyamo, until recently the Minister of State for Niger Delta, has been moved by the Presidency to the Ministry of Labor and Employment. With this he moves from working under Godswill Akpabio to working under Senator Chris Ngige.
There has been speculations on the working relationship that will be between Akpabio and Keyamo, given that Keyamo was the Lawyer that prosecuted Akpabio when he was still in the Peoples Democratic Party, PDP, at the instance of the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission, EFCC. Akpabio never took the issue lightly.
It appears that the working relationship was not as smooth as their initial photo ops suggested.
Keyamo himself has reacted by thanking the presidency for finding him “versatile enough” to be moved around.
In a short letter, signed by the secretary to the Government, Boss Mustapha, made available to this Magazine, the appointment took effect Tuesday.
Keyamo had allegedly hoped to be appointed as Attorney General.
