The Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) on Sunday urged President Muhammadu Buhari to sack the spokesperson for the Presidential Campaign Council of the All Progressives Congress (APC), Festus Keyamo, for alleged abuse of office.
This was disclosed by the spokesperson for the Atiku-Okowa Presidential Campaign Council, Daniel Bwala, at a press conference in Abuja.
The PDP said Keyamo “is using the official privilege and powers of that office to intimidate the agencies of the government including going to court and filing a case against the agents of the same branch of government to which he belongs.”
The PDP was responding to Keyamo’s call for an investigation into Atiku Abubakar’s alleged corruption cases.
Saying the Minister of State for Labour and Employment was using his office to intimidate the agencies of the Federal Government, Bwala said, “We hereby call on the President, Major General Muhammadu Buhari (retd.) to sack the minister for abusing the privilege that he has.”
Recall that Keyamo had petitioned the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission (EFCC), the Independent Corrupt Practices and Other Related Offences Commission (ICPC), and other anti-graft agencies last week to investigate Atiku Abubakar for alleged corruption cases.
The PDPPCC claimed Keyamo was using taxpayer money for personal gain.
Other key members of the Atiku-Okowa campaign council, including Dele Momodu, who was in attendance at the press conference, noted that the conference was part one of the party’s planned press briefings.
