In the midst of the uncertainty and anxiety surrounding the whereabouts of Nigeria’s President-elect, Asiwaju Bola Tinubu, Festus Keyamo, the chief spokesperson of his campaign organization, has provided an update.
In a post on his Twitter account on Wednesday evening, Keyamo questioned why some people are so concerned about Tinubu’s whereabouts.
WITHIN NIGERIA reports Tinubu shortly after his emergence as the President-elect, departed Nigeria for France with his camp claiming the former Lagos State governor needed to take time off to rest after the stress of the campaign and electioneering periods.
However, with only a few weeks until his inauguration as Nigeria’s next president on May 29th, Tinubu’s absence from public view has begun to cause concern among Nigerians.
In light of this, Keyamo stated that those who did not accept Tinubu as their President-elect should not inquire about his whereabouts. He characterized their positions as the futility of denial.
However, the Minister of State for Labour and Employment refused to comment categorically on the President-elect’s whereabouts or health status.
He simply wrote:
Same people who said someone is not their President-elect are anxiously inquiring about his whereabout.
Talk about the futility and buffoonery of living in denial.
Same people who said someone is not their President-elect are anxiously inquiring about his whereabout. 🤷♀️🤷♀️.
Talk about the futility and buffoonery of living in denial.
