Aisha Tackles Festus Keyamo Over Twitter Post

Aisha Yesufu, the co-convener of the BringBackOurGirls movement, has berated Festus Keyamo, the Minister of State for Labour and Employment, over his post on Twitter.

Festus Keyamo had in a post on Twitter on Saturday slammed those he suggested were taking sides on Nigerian issues.

He tweeted: “The hypocrites amongst us are those who claim to be politically non-aligned, but curiously and constantly make excuses for those in one political party whilst always vilifying others. Their so-called moral postulations are nothing but carefully packaged and veiled political views.”

Responding, Aisha reminded Keyamo how he accepted to handle cases of human rights violation free of charge, noting that the minister has changed.

Aisha tweeted: “Sadly my brother, that is now you. I remember a time I would without hesitation call you to tell you of human rights violations and you would immediately ask your firm to take it on pro bono. Today in govt, those human rights violations are happening & you are focused on 774k jobs.”
