Keyamo Vows To Appeal Judgment That Said His Suit Against Atiku Was Frivolous

Former minister of state for Labour, Mr Festus Keyamo has vowed to appeal the court judgment that threw out his suit seeking to compel the nation’s anti-graft agencies to investigate Atiku Abubakar, the Peoples Democratic Party, PDP presidential candidate in the 2023 General Election.

Keyamo made the response through his chamber in Abuja after the court declared his action as incompetent and frivolous.

Speaking through the assistant head of his chamber in Abuja, John Ainetor, Esq, Keyamo in giving his indication to appeal the court judgment said:

“Earlier today, a Federal High Court in Abuja dismissed the case filed by Festus Keyamo, SAN, CON, against the candidate of the PDP in the last Presidential Election, Alhaji ATIKU Abubakar over the SPV saga principally because the court was of the opinion that the law-enforcement agencies were not given enough time to commence investigations before the suit was filed, amongst other sundry reasons.

“Our client respectfully disagrees with the reasons for the said decision because the law-enforcement agencies did not indicate their willingness to commence investigations, even if they were given more time. We want to establish a legal principle that the society cannot wait as infinitum for law-enforcement agencies to do their statutory duties. The suit was designed to prompt the agencies to show their READINESS to investigate.

“We are immediately filing an appeal against the said decision to the Court of Appeal as the struggle on this issue continues.”

Keyamo, however, did not indicate to what extent he would pursue the appeal against the judgment given by the court, to wit, if he would get to the Supreme Court in pursuing his case against Atiku.
