Festus Keyamo Faces Criticism For Exposing The Reason Behind South-East Elites’ Reluctance t+To Condemn Killings In Their Region

Festus Keyamo, the spokesperson for the All Progressive Congress, has faced backlash for shedding light on the reluctance of South-East elites to denounce the ongoing killings in the region. CONTINUE READING
In his remarks, Keyamo revealed that the fear of reprisal attacks against their properties and family members by the unidentified gunmen is the primary reason for the elites’ silence. He emphasized that their silence should not be interpreted as support for the atrocities taking place but rather as a challenging situation for them.
Keyamo acknowledged having private conversations with his friends who admitted to sharing this concern. He urged against putting unnecessary pressure on the elites, emphasizing that it is the responsibility of the federal government, including that of President Tinubu to restore law and order throughout the country. Keyamo expressed confidence in the government’s commitment to addressing the situation effectively. CONTINUE READING
He further highlighted the importance of unity in a country where everyone sees themselves as one. He urged the elites to either remain silent or fully support the federal government’s efforts, whether through military or alternative means, in restoring order in the region. Keyamo also referenced their initial opposition to “Operation PYTHON DANCE” in the East, suggesting that the current dire situation was unforeseen at the time.
Keyamo’s statements have generated criticism, with some questioning the appropriateness of the elites’ silence and calling for more proactive measures to address the escalating violence. The ongoing unrest underscores the urgency for a collective effort to restore peace and stability across the nation.
I think it is time to call a spade, a spade: the simple reason the elites in the South East are finding it difficult to speak out against those killing and dehumanising their own people in the East is the fear of reprisal attacks against their own properties and family members…
