Notably absent from the list was Festus Keyamo, who had previously been a vocal online defender of Tinubu’s decisions. The exclusion sparked online mockery, given Keyamo’s previous stance on supporting the President’s actions.
However, despite being left out, the All Progressives Congress (APC) chieftain showed magnanimity in his response.
Taking to Twitter, Keyamo extended his heartfelt congratulations to all the ministerial nominees selected by President @officialABAT, emphasizing that they truly deserved their nominations.
He tweeted: “Huge congratulations to all the ministerial nominees by the President @officialABAT; very well deserved”
This development marks a significant event in the political landscape, as President Tinubu‘s choice of ministerial nominees undergoes scrutiny and confirmation in the Senate.
Festus Keyamo is know for his integrity, his support for president Tinubu is not for a rewardfor a ministerial appointment but good governance.
Festus Keyamo is a special breed, he is not a desperate politician.
