Bwala's claim against Keyamo

He said:

“This is the Supreme Court decision in the case I have cited and I will just read a line: The appellant alleged amongst others as a legal practitioner that he has been confronted by some of his clients who wanted to understand certain things they consider important relating to their contesting the governorship in Lagos State.
“He further, that is Festus Keyamo, alleged certificate forgery against the Governor of Lagos State, Bola Ahmed Tinubu and that the latter was not qualified for the office of the governor.”

Bwala, a former member of the All Progressives Congress, recently joined the Peoples Democratic Party after the brouhaha that trailed the Muslim-Muslim ticket of the ruling party.

After his defection, the PDP presidential candidate (Atiku) appointed him as his campaign spokesman.

When Keyamo sued Tinubu for certificate forgery

Legit.ng had earlier reported that court documents have revealed how Festus Keyamo sued the Lagos State House of Assembly for clearing then Governor Bola Tinubu.

At the time, Tinubu who is currently the APC presidential candidate was facing allegations of certificate forgery and perjury.

Keyamo, however, claims that he only challenged the right of the Lagos Assembly to clear Tinubu and not the actual findings of the report.
