Tinubu Campaign, Labour Party Fight Over Terror Watch List
Labour Party and the Tinubu Campaign Council on Tuesday quarreled over the eligibility of the other in a terror watch list.
GWG reports that the Labour Party had made the first call for the Tinubu Campaign spokesman, Festus Keyamo, SAN to be placed on a terror watch list after the latter had alleged that Peter Obi was about staging a fake assassination plot against himself.
Responding, the Labour Party had through its National Publicity Secretary of LP, Abayomi Arabambi demanded that Keyamo be placed on a terror watch list over his claim.
Expressing strong misgivings over the allegation, Labour Party described the claim by Keyamo as a security issue which it said amounted to Treasonable Felony.
“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.”
Replying to the call, 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 Up till now he has not withdrawn his accusation nor has he apologised to our candidate Asiwaju Bola Ahmed Tinubu.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.
