Festus Keyamo (SAN), the official spokesperson for Campaign Council of the President-Elect, Bola Tinubu has petitioned the Department of State Services (DSS) demanding the arrest and prosecution for “incitement and treasonable felony”, the Labour Party presidential and vice presidential candidates, Peter Obi and Yusuf Datti Baba-Ahmed respectively for comments he described as incendiary and capable of causing rebellion in Nigeria.
POLITICS NIGERIA reports that in a petition addressed to the Director General (DG) of the DSS, Yusuf Bichi, and dated today March 23, Keyamo, the minister for state, Labour and Employment, said in a post-election period such as this, there is a need to soothe frayed nerves, lower the temperature and begin the healing process.
“The President-Elect, Asiwaju Bola Ahmed Tinubu issued a statement to this effect a few days ago. However, it appears the President and Vice-Presidential Candidates of the Labour Party, Mr Peter Obi and Datti Baba-Ahmed are not prepared to toe this conciliatory path for the sake of peace and national cohesion, whilst exercising their rights to pursue duly laid down constitutional means of addressing their grievances,” the petition partly reads.
