Keyamo Reveals Reason Igbo Elites Are Finding It Difficult to Speak Out Against Killings in Southeast
- An APC chieftain, Festus Keyamo, has defended the Igbo elites over their silence against the killings in the Southeast
- Keyamo said the elites are scared of reprisal attacks by unknown gunmen on their properties and family members
- He, however, said he is sure President Bola Ahmed Tinubu will restore law and order to the region
Former minister of state for Labour and Employment, Festus Keyamo, has revealed why Igbo elites fear condemning the killing and dehumanising of their people in the southeast.
Keyamo said the Igbo elites find it difficult to speak out against the killing because they fear unknown gunmen would attack their properties and family back home.

The chieftain of the All Progressives Congress (APC) stated this via his Twitter handle @fkeyamo and urged Nigerians not to put unnecessary pressure on the elites as it’s a difficult situation for them.
"I think it is time to call a spade, a spade: the simple reason the elites in the South East are finding it difficult to speak out against those killing and dehumanising their people in the East is the fear of reprisal attacks against their own properties and family members back home by these ‘unknown gunmen.’

Keyamo added that the elites’ silence does not mean support for the destruction and killings in the southeast region.
He also assured that the administration of President Bola Ahmed Tinubu would restore law and order in the region.
