The Minister of Aviation and Aerospace Development, Festus
Keyamo, has claimed that prominent politicians who took to the streets of Abuja
to protest against the Independent National Electoral Commission, INEC, want to
“blackmail” everyone.
On Wednesday morning, Atiku Abubakar, Peter Obi, Rabiu
Kwankwaso, Rauf Aregbesola, Rotimi Amaechi, and Aminu Tambuwal were seen
holding the banners of the African Democratic Congress, ADC, in a ‘Save our
Democracy’ protest.
It comes after INEC’s decision to de-recognize the party
leadership headed by David Mark.
Keyamo, reacting to the protest, wrote on X: “So, the
survival of our democracy is now anchored on the recognition of one faction of
one of the 21 registered political parties we have in this country?
“The same faction, even when recognised, could not win a
single Council seat in the just-concluded FCT election?
“Democracy now means their own logic in the media space MUST
be accepted and our judiciary processes ignored?
“These fellows think they can blackmail everyone to do their bidding AT ALL COST. Unfortunately for them, Nigerians are not so gullible.”
