It's shameful you served under Fawehinmi, Atiku's aide blasts Keyamo

PUNCH

Following his loss, Monday, at the Federal High Court, Abuja, Special Assistant on Public Communications to the Peoples Democratic Party presidential candidate, Atiku Abubakar, Phrank Shuaibu has described the immediate past Minister of State for Labour and Employment, Festus Keyamo’s tutelage under the late Gani Fawehinmi as a shame.

Keyamo had ahead of the 2023 general elections, written a petition to the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission (EFCC), the Code of Conduct Bureau (CCB) and other anti-graft agencies to arrest and prosecute Atiku over spurious and unwarranted allegations.

He also went ahead to file a suit before the court seeking to order the agencies to expedite action on his petition.

However, on Monday, June 5, 2023,  Justice James Omotosho dismissed Keyamo’s suit and awarded a N10m fine against Keyamo

While reacting to the court judgement, Shuaibu noted that Keyamo’s loss was a shame and a confirmation of his incompetence as a lawyer who served under the late Gani Fawehinmi.

The statement reads: “Keyamo’s incompetence has been confirmed by Justice Omotosho. One wonders how he was elevated to the rank of senior advocate. Despite several clarifications that the allegations levelled against Atiku were trumped up, Keyamo refused to listen to reason.

“Rather than act like a refined lawyer as expected of a senior advocate, he decided to act like a political jobber. Now, he has been disgraced before the entire world. This was a man who served under the legendary, Chief Gani Fawehinmi. What a shame!”
