August 01, (THEWILL) – Minister of State for Labour and Employment, Festus Keyamo (SAN), has disowned a social media post purportedly credited to him on the conduct of Saturday’s congresses of the All Progressives Congress (APC) in Delta State.
The Minister, in a statement issued on Saturday night by his Special Assistant on Media, Tunde Moshood, described the damning comments credited to him as “fake news sponsored by those who want to play God in the politics of Delta State and who have refused to learn from the experiences of those who tried to do same in the past.”
The statement further said that, “The Hon. Minister is not in contest with anyone and is very content with his professional and political status (achieved through dint of hardwork) and believes in the adage, Que Sera Sera.”
It added that Keyamo and all party members in the state who believe in his leadership, based on his sincere and honest advice to the party on the import of the Supreme Court judgement in the Ondo case and “other issues to be highlighted later, stayed away from any supposed event in that regard.”
While reiterating his earlier position on the congresses as regards the court judgement on the governorship election of Ondo State, Keyamo, said, “In the fullness of time, everyone will come to appreciate” his position, adding that “his only prayer is that it should not be too late by then.”
The statement reads: “Please, kindly disregard any social media post to the effect that the Hon. Minister made any comment about the supposed Congresses that happened or did not happen in Delta State today. It is fake news sponsored by those who want to play God in the politics of Delta State and who have refused to learn from the experiences of those who tried to do same in the past.
“The Hon. Minister is not in contest with anyone and is very content with his professional and political status (achieved through dint of hardwork) and believes in the adage, Que Sera Sera.
“The Hon. Minister and all party members in the State who believe in his leadership, based on his sincere and honest advice to the Party on the import of the Supreme Court judgment in the Ondo case and other issues to be highlighted later, stayed away from any supposed event in that regard.
