Minister of State, Labour and Employment and Spokespersons of the Tinubu/Shettima Presidential Campaign Council, Festus Keyamo (SAN) on Saturday stated that he will not honour the invitation of a debate sent by investigative journalist, David Hundeyin as he is a stranger to him.
Naija News reports that Hundeyin had challenged Keyamo to a debate after the minister addressed the drug charges against his principal, Bola Ahmed Tinubu.
Hundeyin, who had earlier written an article on the issue titled, “Bola Ahmed Tinubu: From Drug Lord To Presidential Candidate”, in a post on his official Twitter handle had asked Keyamo to appear in a debate on any television station of his choice for a 7-minute debate.
“Mr @fkeyamo I put it to you that you are a despicable liar and a miserably mediocre lawyer. You cannot lie like this in 2022. I will destroy you in less than 7 minutes if you agree to discuss this story with me on any TV station of your choice. This is an open challenge,” he tweeted.
However, when Daily Independent reached out to Keyamo to ask if he would be open to the debate, he said he will not as he doesn’t know Hundeyin.
He subsequently asked those who were not satisfied with his submission on Tinubu’s innocence to meet him in court.
He said, ”Who is he? I don’t know him (Hundeyin). In our place, we have a saying that ‘small something dey shake. When people like that talk, the best thing to do is to ignore them. Honestly, I don’t know him
” I repeat, Asiwaju is not a defendant in the matter. When some of these people get to Law School, they will understand what we are saying. If they are not satisfied with my position on the issue, they should let us meet in court instead of making noises and crying all about”
