Orji A. Uka@ OrjiUka 2h I have nothing against Festus Keyamo , SAN. I am happy his hustle has paid off. But if you hold yourself out as a human rights lawyer, you can’t accept the position of Spokesman for the campaign of a Govt famed for rights abuses. Light & darkness have nothing in common. Simple.

JAGABAN @UNCLE_AJALA Festus Keyamo rode on Gani Fawehinmi’s fame as one of his disciples,& today he’s the spokesperson for the re election of Buhari, a man disobeying court orders & violating human rights. He’s now in support of everything Gani fought against. Not surprised,Judas also betrayed Jesus.
Barr MOYO OGUNLEWE @ogunlewemoyo Festus Keyamo , appointed as the Director, Strategic Communications (spokesman) for the President Buhari’s forthcoming Presidential Campaign. Now you know his support for Buhari wasn’t based on performance but on his personal interest.
Hawa Nene Ibrahim @HerRoyalNene Festus Keyamo have been working for his pocket since, why are people acting surprise
Rabbòni Sossa @OluwafemiSossa See how Festus Keyamo just ruined his reputation in less than 3 years. For what exactly?
EchoChambers Are Bae by Gene Peterson @ EuginhoCortez If you feel betrayed by Festus Keyamo , just see it as useful education. Now you know better than to abandon your civic duties to professional activists that you oddly expected sainthood from.
