You’re incompetent, your law degree is useless – Atiku’s aide mocks Keyamo

Frank Shaibu, the Special Assistant on Public Communications
to the Peoples Democratic Party, PDP, presidential candidate, Atiku Abubakar
has charged the immediate past Minister of State for Labour and Employment,
Festus Keyamo, to throw his law certificate into the dustbin following the
defeat he suffered at the Federal High Court, Abuja.

Shaibu said Keyamo’s law degree was useless.

Keyamo had, ahead of the election, 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 bogus
and unsubstantiated allegations.

Eager to satisfy his paymasters, Keyamo did not wait for up
to three days for the EFCC and other agencies to act on his petition but
hurriedly filed a suit before the court seeking an order to mandate the
agencies to act on his petition.

On Monday, Justice James Omotosho dismissed Keyamo’s suit as
incompetent and awarded a N10m fine against Keyamo

Reacting to the development, Shaibu said the latest judgment
was a reflection of Keyamo’s incompetence as a lawyer.

Shaibu said the judgment was clear evidence that the former
minister was only playing cheap politics.

A statement by Shaibu 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 Fwehinmi? What a shame!”

Shaibu said Keyamo’s latest defeat was not surprising given
the fact that he had lost many high profile cases in court while he was an EFCC
prosecutor.

He added: “When the jobless former minister was filing the
frivolous case, we informed Nigerians that he would lose. The prediction was in
line with his antecedents as a failed EFCC prosecutor. Today, we have been
justified.

“He was the EFCC prosecutor against Governor Timipre Sylva,
but he lost the case. He represented the EFCC against Femi Fani-Kayode and also
lost.

“Even the case he instituted against the Lagos State House
of Assembly during the Tinubu certificate scandal, marked ID/639M/99, Keyamo
didn’t do better. In the case of former Speaker of the House of
Representatives, Dimeji Bankole, in which Keyamo was the lead prosecutor, it
also ended in another abysmal failure.

“Keyamo made a name for himself by constantly filing
frivolous suits in order to entertain the media. He needs to throw his law
certificate into the dustbin so he can face his job as a social media
influencer.”
