Press statement from revered lawyer, Festus Keyamo

The so-called “uproar” over the perceived “lopsided” appointments made so far by President Buhari is nothing but an orchestrated frustration of a few jobless politicians who depend only on government appointments as their means of livelihood and, of course, the noise of the latest opposition party in town. The majority of Nigerians want to see good governance, pure and simple, and care less about the ethnic origin of those appointed into positions.

My worry is that the decade-long general division of government positions into “juicy” and “non-juicy”, and the mentality that these few “juicy” positions must be shared equally amongst the major ethnic groups was nothing but a contraption of the old order from which we have just liberated ourselves.

To my mind, all government appointments pose an equal challenge to those appointed as a call to higher service of fatherland. All public positions come with an equal responsibility to be honest, forthright and dedicated. To go further to classify them as “juicy” or “non-juicy is just a euphemism for positions that have enough money from which to steal and those that are “dry”.

Therefore, any agitation from a section of the country to get “juicy” positions is only an agitation for their kinsmen to be appointed to steal enough from which they would benefit. I therefore unreservedly condemn, in the strongest of terms, the so-called “uproar” about “juicy positions” going only to a certain section of this country.

All sections of this country should be happy and content with whatever positions that the President deems fit, at the end of the day, to give to their kinsmen. After all, the President still has a long way to go with appointments. He has not even filled up to five percent of available positions. Please, let the President be.

Thank you. FESTUS KEYAMO, ESQ.

FTC for the 329th time,

back to the matter, this people are jst bitter and cant come to accept the fact that buhari will be their president for the nxt 4 years, the appointed persons are Nigerians that is what matters, one of Nigerias biggest problem is ethnicism, WE ARE ONE





UNITED WE STAND, DIVIDED WE FALL

They will soon say you are looking for appointment. Truth is bitter to these status quo merchants.


Meanwhile look at the street where Orubebe resides in Warri. This was the state throughout his tenure as minister of ND before another man arranged to fix it.
The people who live near him could not enjoy his appointment into a juicy ministry as ND minister. Why kill yourself over these selfish politicians?

And if these appointments were going to only southerners, would the northerners be happy?

Keyamo doesn't know what he is talking about. So because Buhari needs people who can get the job done, he can only get those set of people from a section of the country.

So we don't have people from the south who can make things happen right ? Public administration has now become rocket science which cant be understood by the southerners ?

As far as am concerned, Nigeria belongs to everyone of us and no ethnic group should be superior in this country. Every ethnic group must be carried along.

Keyamo you are bigger than this bullshit mehn..

Trash, hear him promoting nepotism. So by appointing from a smaller pool of people from particular regions the probability of getting those who could perform is higher.
That is against logic.

Competency over ethnicity

#recipe4change

Can somebody tell this man to shut his mouth and pray for common sense?

A country that it's political atmosphere is very sensitive to zones and region.
Is there any reason for Federal quota system in the constitution?

Govt.of the north by North for their southern slaves.

Yet an average southerner claims he is more intelligent than their northern counterpart---
An Irony indeed

This one wey never win any high profile case before, no SAN for you

Typical pretenders, You Keyamo, we sabi well, well. Carry on, na you go tire

Well.....we do want federal character to be followed.....but we also want people to know that government appointment does not mean development.

Sound IT let them know!!! Even if they all from Pluto and Jupiter I care less as long as they are ready to serve diligently. The people behind the noise are those jobless politicians.

Baba carry go and leave those wailers they are just trying to distract a focused man

mehn me to go try get SAN self!

Abeg Mr Sympathiser Keyamo go and rest.

Are you meaning to say that Northerners are more wiser and intelligent than other tribes or that no or maybe very few "saint" can be found in the south while northerners are incorruptible and patriotic?

This Government is a Northern Agenda..... Accept it and pa Buhari will never suprise you again

Attention seeking goons. Kpankpala boo loya

Ok oo

Oh o

Hmmm

Keyamo nails it again. There is no denying the concept of 'key' or 'juicy' positions is based on assumed or expected looting or preferential treatment that the occupier will engage in to benefit his constituency, most times which ends up not even happening.

The expected deliverable of PMB's assignment similarly, is not appointments, but performance.

A typical case of suffering and smiling!







I have always known Keyamo to be deluded, never knew he was this foolish. Oponu!
