Festus Keyamo, the spokesperson for the All Progressives Congress (APC) presidential campaign council, has come under fire on social media after sharing a rally video.
According to reports, the Senior Advocate of Nigeria (SAN) posted a video clip on a microblogging website on Sunday night that he said was taken at a political rally that took place yesterday in an undisclosed town in Kogi State.
In his caption, Keyamo asserted that the audience was not made up of strangers and that each and every participant in the protest had their Permanent Voters Card (PVC) ready for the general elections in 2023.
The APC leader also made fun of rival parties in the caption by joking that they will soon separate the men from the boys.

Keyamo’s tweet reads: “We showed them how to do a proper march today in just one town in Kogi; no borrowed crowd; everyone here has a PVC (go and verify This is organised by proper ‘structures’, not ‘keypad activists’! Gradually, we shall separate the boys from the men!”.
Since posting the video footage, Keyamo allegedly started getting trolls from Nigerians on social media.
Oby Ezekwesili, a former minister of education, provided arguments over the weekend for why Peter Obi, the Labour Party’s (LP) presidential candidate, is superior to other contenders for the 2023 election.
Even though Obi has experience in politics, she claimed that he is a breath of fresh air compared to the other front-runners in the 2023 election.
According to reports, Ezekwesili expressed her opinion when appearing as a guest on Sunday Politics on Channels Television.
She argued that although Nigeria is experiencing poor leadership, the former governor of Anambra State offers some promise for the future of the nation.
Someone asks you: “Do you need somebody to tell you where you would be heading between a cast of possible presidents that includes the three frontrunners that we currently have—a possible President Tinubu, Atiku, and Obi? An Obi would be it.

She continued by saying that despite the fact that Obi is a member of the country’s political establishment, he is still far ahead of the other front-runners for the 2023 election.
Despite coming from the political elite that she was referring to, she continued, “He at least represents many more shapes than the other two leading contenders (Atiku and Tinubu).”
