2023: Festus Keyamo Reacts As APC Northern Govs Back Southern Presidency

The Minister of State for Labour and Employment, Festus Keyamo, has reacted to the decision of APC Northern governors to root for a Southern president.

Keyamo in a post on Twitter stated that the ruling party has come to stay as the national party.

He claimed that the Northern APC Govs have displayed statesmanship & commitment to the Nigerian Project.

According to the minister, this is one of the most pivotal moments in the history of Nigeria.

“Take note: this is one of the most pivotal moments in the history of Nigeria!”
