Keyamo Denounces Thug Attack on APC Posters as Propaganda

Festus Keyamo, the Minister of Aviation and Aerospace Development, expressed his discontent regarding the destruction of All Progressives Congress (APC) campaign posters by a thug, as seen in a viral video. He characterized the incident as a deliberate propaganda stunt designed to suggest that President Bola Tinubu has been rejected by "angry" Nigerians.

Keyamo criticized journalists for not condemning the act, contrasting it with their quick labeling of APC members as "thugs of the ruling party" when they covered opposition posters in Lagos State. He asserted that such incidents are part of a broader opposition strategy to undermine the ruling party's image and create a narrative of their impending defeat in the upcoming election.

Keyamo stated, “Here is a sponsored thug of the opposition brandishing a weapon, destroying the posters of the ruling party somewhere in the country,” emphasizing the orchestrated nature of the event.
