Keyamo Replies Critics Mocking Tinubu For Sleeping At Emir’s Place, Shares Photos Of Atiku, Peter Obi Sleeping

The spokesman of the All Progressive Congress Presidential Council, Festus Keyamo, has replied critics mocking Asiwaju Bola Tinubu for falling asleep at the Emir’s place in Gombe State.

Naija News earlier reported that Tinubu, who was in Gombe to attend the wedding of Misbahu Inuwa Yahaya, son of Governor Muhammadu Inuwa Yahaya, decided to stop by for a brief homage and political meeting at the Emir’s Palace, accompanied by political bigwigs including Senate President, Ahmed Lawan.

During the meeting, Tinubu was captured sleeping while Lawan was seen holding the microphone and addressing attendees at the emir’s palace.

The photos generated outrage online with many critics saying it is another evidence of Tinubu’s frail health condition and possibly need for rest, instead of running for president.

Keyamo Reacts

Taking to his Twitter page, the Minister of State for Labour and Employment, Festus Keyamo shared photos of Labour Party (LP) flagbearer, Peter Obi and Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) presidential candidate, Atiku Abubakar, sleeping.

According to Keyamo, all presidential candidates are humans and it is wrong to mock them when they show natural traits.

Keyamo said sleeping is not a sign of weakness, adding that they may have stayed up late the previous night for the sake of the masses.

He wrote: “They are all human, after all. We don’t mock people when they show natural human traits. It’s not a sign of weakness. They may have stayed up late the previous night for our sake!”
