The All Progressives Congress, APC, Presidential Campaign Council, PCC, Spokesperson, Festus Keyamo has been criticized by opposition Party, the Peoples Democratic Party, PDP, for allegedly abusing office. The Party has, therefore, called for his immediate sack by President Muhammadu Buhari.
The PDP spokesperson for the Atiku-Okowa Presidential Campaign Council, Daniel Bwala, said this at a press conference in Abuja.
The PDP said Keyamo “is using the official privilege and powers of that office to intimidate the agencies of the government including going to court and filing a case against the agents of the same branch of Government to which he belongs”
The PDP was reacting to Keyamo’s call for the probe of Atiku Abubakar over alleged corruption cases.
“We hereby call on the President Buhari to sack the minister for abusing the privilege that he has.”
The PDP alleged that Keyamo was using taxpayers’ money for self-interests.
The press conference also had in attendance other key members of the Atiku-Okowa campaign council, including Dele Momodu, who noted that the conference was part one of the party’s planned press briefings.
The PDP also called on the National Drug Law Enforcement Agency and the National Agency for Food and Drug Administration and Control to probe the APC presidential candidate, Bola Tinubu, over alleged drug-related offences.
