Minister of State for Labour and Employment,Festus Keyamo said Nigerians should see the absence of Governor Nyesom Wike and his loyalists at the official launch of PDP’s presidential campaign in Uyo, Akwa Ibom state, as a warning signal that the main opposition party is heading for defeat in the 2023 general election.
Kayamo who is spokesman of the Tinubu/ Shettima Campaign Council made this known in a statement Monday evening
He said he found the presence of the embattled national chairman of the party, Iyorchia Ayu, on the podium promising the PDP will change the fortune of the country “a huge joke “
Keyamo believed the launch of the presidential campaign was a disaster waiting to happen, saying the opposition party had continued to treat the Nigerian public with disdain and disrespect. He said: “When you have a flag-off campaign that is shunned by the national vice-chairmen of the South-South, South-West, and five sitting governors out of thirteen, that is a definitive and resounding red-flag that Nigerians should not vote the presidential candidate of the PDP in this coming election.”
