The spokesperson of the APC Presidential Campaign Council, Mr Festus Keyamo (SAN) on Tuesday urged security agencies to place the presidential candidate of the Labour Party, Mr Peter Obi and some of his supporters under security watch.
Mr Keyamo was reacting to LP’s earlier call on security agencies to place the APC chieftain security watchlist.
In a statement by the LP’s spokesperson Abayomi Arabambi, the party leadership called on the nation’s service chiefs to place Mr Keyamo on security watch list.
The statement partly read, “President Muhammadu Buhari must now as a matter of urgency directs the service chiefs to place Festus Keyamo and other APC presidential Campaign members and supporters on a security watch list as they are now a threat to democracy ahead of the 2023 general elections.
“I called on the Inspector General of Police to urgently commence a comprehensive investigation into Mr Festus Keyamo unlawful and treasonable activities. His conducts are likely to cause breach of peace and anarchy in our country if this ugly trend is not nipped in the bud and Keyamo be made to face possible prosecution in the court of Law.”
In his reaction, Mr Keyamo said, “I also call on the Security Agencies in Nigeria to place Mr. Peter Obi and some of his demented supporters on the terror watch lists for circulating an incendiary video with a fake message by one of his supporters called Powell Glad Legbe (on his Facebook page) calling on Yorubas not to vote for Peter Obi. Mr. Peter Obi then wrongly and wickedly attributed that quote to an amorphous ‘Tinubu group’. Up till now he has not withdrawn his accusation nor has he apologized to our candidate Asiwaju Bola Ahmed Tinubu.
“It is obvious Mr. Peter Obi wants to cause religious and tribal crises in the country and for this I call on the security agencies to place Mr. Peter Obi on security watch or invite him for thorough investigation. If necessary, I am prepared to be invited too as a witness to prove my case against him.”
