Peter Obi: Keyamo desperate for relevance — Labour Party

The spokesperson for the LP PCC, Dr Yunusa Tanko said this in a statement in Abuja, on Thursday.

He responded to Keyamo’s request that security agencies detain the LP candidates for allegedly laying the groundwork for an uprising against the Nigerian State in response to the declaration of Tinubu as the country’s next president.

Surprisingly, Keyamo, who calls himself a ‘patriotic citizen,’ chose to ignore the racism and tribalism that his party and its supporters were committing against Non-Yoruba in Lagos.
