FCT, Abuja - Festus Keyamo, the minister of state for Labour and Employment, has reacted to the recent meeting between the president-elect, Bola Ahmed Tinubu and Rabiu Kwankwaso, the presidential candidate of the New Nigeria People's Party (NNPP) in the 2023 election.

Writing on his verified Twitter handle on Tuesday, May 16, the spokesperson for the ruling All Progressives Congress (APC) Presidential Campaign Council in the 2019 and 2023 elections subtly criticised supporters of Peter Obi, the candidate of the Labour Party (LP), saying they will be defeated again at the tribunal.

Keyamo wrote:

“Whilst real patriots are already looking forward to collaborating for nation-building and MAY already be forging alliances ahead of 2027, some nattering nitwits are still stuck in the past, throwing tantrums here and there and will continue to do so till 2027, to the extent that when they are defeated again they will start looking for fake results inside the INEC Result Viewing (ReV) portal!”
