Minister of State, Labour and Employment and Director, Public Affairs and Spokespersons, Tinubu/Shettima Presidential Campaign Council, Festus Keyamo (SAN) on Friday said an interview being circulated online which was attributed to him may have been forged.

In the interview, Keyamo was alleged to have said Asiwaju Bola Tinubu, then governor of Lagos state had sacked workers unjustly and also destroyed tertiary education in Lagos state.

" I cannot imagine a situation where the military government gave more succour in Lagos State to workers than even Tinubu’s istration. Tinubu’s regime has been the worst for the workers in the last two decades".

However, speaking with DAILY INDEPENDENT, Keyamo challenged those circulating the interview to provide the name and date of the publication as he had granted hundreds of interviews in times past and couldn't saying some of things ascribed to him in the publication.

While itting the fact that he criticised governments in times past on their policies and struggle for good governance, Keyamo said he later discovered that as governor, Tinubu sacked some civil servants in the employment of the Lagos state government who were ghost workers and collecting multiple pay.

"I granted hundreds of interviews over the course of my struggles for good governance and democratic ethos. These types of interviews were typical of me. I don’t shy away from itting my criticism of past governments".

"However, at the fullness of time you may better appreciate some policies of past govts. For instance, it was later discovered that Asiwaju Bola Tinubu was actually on a crusade against ghost workers and those who were collecting multiple pay, hence many were weeded out".

"However, I cannot hundreds of such interviews. These were done more than two decades ago".

"Hence it would be helpful to have the name of this publication and the date. I cannot readily confirm or deny such. It may genuine or it may be fake. There were many inaccurate s and interviews attributed to us in those days by people who had some axe to grind with public officials" Keyamo said.

Lie-nus Festus Keyamo

APC have succeeded in destroying this country

we dont care ...

Even Labor Party Anambra Chapter Chairman was captured on video listing the failures of Peter Obi years ago...

Now they are singing his praises...

So, Oga don't apologize for any body...You have done no wrong as long as it is politics we are talking about!

.

Fact that he did not outrightly deny it means it is true.

Keyamo is fast losing credibility as SAN, & tending towards Senior Advocate of Nonsense.

“May”?

So there’s a high chance it’s true then.

And what about your taking Tinubu to court over his lack of certificates? Was your presence in the court forged too?

Or a lawyer “you shared flat with” used your name to file the Tinubu case?

Onye ala!

Senior Advocate of Narcotics.

In the interview, he even said Tinubu is bribing Lagos State House of Assembly with 'Chicago allowance'

Keyamo the evil man; ing evil leaders now

Yeah he didn't deny. Just asking for date

Take and sniff cocaine to calm down your bitterness

Say no to Muslim Muslim ticket!

Keyamo, in all honesty, shouldn't be Tinubu's spokesman.

He has said and done a lot of anti Tinubu stuffs in the past.

He made all the statement to be popular

Exactly

Ok

Before his brain shifted

Forged ? What a dummy
A video that is all over the internet in which you described Tinubu in the most shameful manner
Now because he is your employer you are afraid

Lol. He's just trying to play safe. He doesn't want to deny the interview and later be proven wrong. Poor defender of the indefensible.

A former colleague of Festus keyamu said on radio that he is surprise that people don't know how childish keyamu can be.

In court he makes arguments like a 12 years old.

Liars

Klownyamo for a reason.

May have been ? Lmfao

Oga we Nigerians are not urchins u are used to ooh

Keyamo seems to have the toughest job now.

I don't pity him though.

Keyamo like Dino melaye and FFK na anywhere belle face or anywhere money dey politicians lacking value....
