Keyamo Reacts As Adebanjo Says Igbo Politicians Are Starving Peter Obi Of Funds

The Chief Spokesman of the All Progressives Congress (APC) Presidential Campaign Council (APC ), Festus Keyamo, has laughed off a recent comment by the leader of the Pan-Yoruba socio-cultural organisation, Afenifere, Ayo Adebanjo.

Adebanjo, at an event organised for the late President General of the Ohanaeze Ndigbo Worldwide, Prof. George Obiozor, in Lagos on Wednesday, berated wealthy Igbo people for failing to provide financial support to the Presidential candidate of the Labour Party (LP), Peter Obi, in the forthcoming elections.

Adebanjo said that while many Igbo people are billionaires, they have refused to support Obi’s presidential bid financially.

Reacting to the development in a series of tweets via his Twitter handle on Friday, Keyamo said he thought the LP does not give money and does not receive either.

He stated that Obi supporters are living in denial till after election, even when the signs are there that the numbers cannot add up to give their candidate victory.

He wrote: “Oh, really? I thought it was a complete no-shi-shi game. You don’t give and you don’t get!🙄🙄 #LyingPeople (LP).

“The hypocrisy of some is nauseating. In their own case, they’re sourcing for funds for elections only ‘for logistics’. In the case of the APC, it must be sourcing for funds to ‘influence the elections’ or to ‘buy votes’. So, the ruling party is totally insulated from ‘logistics’.

“One unique thing about elections is that supporters live in denial till after voting, even when the signs are there that the numbers cannot add up to give your candidate victory. It is only AFTER your loss is announced that you acknowledge the handicap that was there all along.”
