The Minister of State for Labour and Productivity, Festus Keyamo has reacted to reports making rounds that the Labour Party’s presidential candidate, Peter Obi’s acceptance by the public took the ruling party, the All Progressives Congress, APC by surprise ahead of the 2023 elections.
He said it is impossible for Peter Obi to win the forthcoming presidential election.
Keyamo, who also is the spokesperson for the Tinubu/Shettima Presidential Campaign Council, denied saying Obi’s soaring popularity took his party by surprise.
The statement was contained in a post via his verified Twitter handle where he said Obi stepping into the Presidential Villa could be compared to a camel passing through the eye of a needle.
He wrote: “FAKE NEWS ALERT! A certain quote making the rounds on social/m where I purportedly said, “We never saw Peter Obi coming, he took us all by surprise, the only mistake we made in APC bla bla” is fake news. Obi entering the Villa is like a camel passing through the eye of a needle.”
