 Alleged Assassination: We Will Hold APC, Keyamo Responsible If Anything Happens To Peter Obi – Elders To Buhari


Elders under the aegis of the Conference of Nigerian Elders for Peace and Good Governance (CNEPGG) have vowed to hold responsible the Minister of State for Labour and Employment, Festus Keyamo if any mishap falls on the Labour Party (LP) presidential candidate, Peter Obi.

Naija News recalls that Keyamo accused Obi of planning to stage an assassination attempt, which he will blame on the All Progressives Congress(APC) and then use to curry sympathy ahead of the 2023 election.

Reacting to Keyamo’s claims, the elders urged President Muhammadu Buhari and the APC, to call the minister to order.

In a statement jointly signed by its National Coordinator, Prof Dele Banjo and Mallam Hamza Shinkafi, National Secretary, the concerned elders insisted that Keyamo be invited for questioning as his claim might be exactly what is being plotted against Obi.

The statement reads, “We are of the view, that extending an invitation to the minister of labour and employment, Mr Festus Keyamo, will enable him to provide evidence on his allegation that the LP presidential candidate, a man so loved by many, was planning to stage an assassination attempt.


“We warn that should anything happen to our dear son, Obi, Keyamo and his party would be held responsible, more so that many concerned Nigerians feel it is what is being plotted, that the minister presented differently.”

Speaking further, the elders implored politicians and their followers to avoid manipulation in the upcoming election adding that the nation’s interest must come first before theirs.

They warned that no amount of desperation by Keyamo and his cohorts in the APC will change the direction of the majority of the votes in the 2023 presidential poll.

“In unison, Nigerians have agreed to give their youthful presidential candidate a chance to redirect and refocus Nigeria on the part of prosperity, and greatness, which has continued to elude it, as a result of corruption, maladministration and incompetence of past and present leaders,” they added.

Breast Versus Bottle

 Breast Versus Bottle “Breastmilk is more nutritious, more hygienic, immunizes babies against common illnesses, and reduces the mother’s risk of breast and ovarian cancer. Infant formula, apart from being expensive, is often overdiluted with unclean water and fed to children from unsterile feeding bottles. In poor communities, the difference is so vital that an estimated 1 million young lives could be saved every year if the world’s mothers went back to exclusive breastfeeding for the first four to six months.”​—The State of the World’s Children 1993, a publication of the United Nations Children’s Fund.

ASUU S trike: FG Will Not Rescind Or Reverse, ‘No Work, No Pay,’ Says Minister The Minister of Education, Mallam Adamu Adamu yesterday maintained that the offer made to the university lecturers under the umbrella of the Academic Staff Union of Universities (ASUU) that are presently on strike was sustainable. He said the offer was reached considering available resources, even as he maintained that the government’s position on ‘no work, no pay’ stands. The minister who spoke yesterday during an interview on Channels Television, said the offer made by the present administration could not be compared with that of the administration of former President Goodluck Jonathan when the sum of N1.3 trillion was promised the union and to be paid in the spread of six years. He said the Jonathan’s administration agreement was not feasible and could not be realisable due to resources that were not available. In reaction to the sum of N28.65 billion that the country had lost to education tourism from 19...
