Presidency: Keyamo Says North Won’t Betray Tinubu

The Minister of Labour and Employment and Spokespersons of the Tinubu/Shetima Presidential Campaign Council, PCC has described as untrue suggestion that Northern leaders in the ruling All Progressives Congress, APC, will betray Bola Tinubu, the candidate of the party in next month’s election.

The APC presidential hopeful and former Lagos state governor is believed to be in a tight race with other two candidates Atiku Abubakar, and, Peter Obi of the People’s Democratic party and Labour Partyl, respectively.

Recently, the PDP has alleged that some APC governors and leaders are not fully in support of Tinubu, and are only waiting to betray him in the February 25 election.

The allegation of betrayal notched higher last week  when Yerima Shetima, president, Arewa Youths Consultative Forum, said many APC leaders, including the party’s governors from the North do not want Tinubu to succeed President Muhammadu Buhari, whose tenures expires on May 29 this year.

The Northern youth leader cited for example, the recent rally held for Tinubu in Lagos by Northerners, alleging that the leaders and governors were absent.

Responding, Keyamo said on his official Twitter handle, that it’s unimaginable for PDP to suggest that Tinubu will be betrayed by northern APC leaders.

The Minister said the north is fully behind Tinubu’s presidential bid, and are only waiting to prove this in February 25.

According to him, the north will use the election to prove its  support for the unity of Nigeria, which he claimed Abubakar betrayed when he refused to support power shift to the south by clinching the PDP presidential ticket.

Keyamo: “What’s destroying the PDP is the insensitivity, greed & covetousness of one man in not respecting their own constitution & the zoning tradition of this country b/w the North & South.

” He hopes to lie his way to the Presidency. Nemesis is just lurking around the corner on Feb. 25th”

“It is even an insult for Atiku Abubakar’s men to suggest that @officialABAT will be betrayed by the APC Northern leaders.

“Since betrayal runs in their veins, they think it’s the norm for everyone to behave like their Principal. February 25th will teach them what honour and integrity means.”
