A former federal lawmaker, Dino Melaye, on Saturday described the Minister of State for Labour and Employment, Festus Keyamo’s recent comments on the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) presidential candidate, Atiku Abubakar, as parochial and intellectually stagnant, IgbereTV reports
Keyamo, who featured in a programme, on Friday, played down Atiku’s chances in the 2023 general elections, saying he was not fit for the presidency.
However, in a video posted on his social media handle, Melaye accused the minister of narrow-mindedness.
He described the All Progressives Congress (APC) chieftain as a failure who was not qualified to make statement on the former Vice President.
He said: “This is to react specifically to Keyamo’s myopic interview on Atiku Abubakar. If Keyamo had succeeded as a minister, he wouldn’t have been talking the way he’s talking. Many Nigerians would tell you they don’t even know the portfolio Keyamo is heading because he is redundant, invisible and inactive and he has been completely consumed by Ngige.
