Daniel Bwala, spokesman of the Peoples Democratic Party,
PDP, presidential candidate in the last election, Atiku Abubakar, has accused
the Minister of State, Festus Keyamo, of trying to ambush the President-elect,
Bola Tinubu for a ministerial role.
Bwala was reacting to Keyamo’s remark that it was
unconstitutional for President Muhammadu Buhari to have appointed a minister of
state.
He said Keyamo’s desperation and scheming might kill his opportunity.
Recall that Keyamo had said the office of the Minister of
State was an aberration and unconstitutional.
He lamented that most of his colleagues were redundant in
the last eight years but many have not had the courage to speak up.
Keyamo read this in his speech at the valedictory session of
the Federal Executive Council meeting presided over by President Buhari to mark
the end of the administration.
Reacting, Bwala tweeted: “He wants to ambush Tinubu to give
him a substantive ministerial role, hence his argument that Buhari appointing
him as minister of state is unconstitutional.
“That’s exactly how he wanted the role of AGF and went to
the NASS confirmation hearing and was answering in this manner “If I become
AGF” It got PMB’s chief of staff mad and they gave him an inconsequential role
first under Niger Delta, the substantive minister then allegedly complained and
he was further re-assigned to labour as “under secretary’ aka minister of
state. Sources close to Tinubu revealed.
“My take is that desperation and scheming are killers of
opportunity.”
