Printerscanner:
Well done Keyamo for speaking out where others are shivering

why did he accept the job if it was unconstitutional, a SAN for that matter? that means he participated in illegality

This is one of the most useless and shameless man this country has ever produced

Oxfordgrade:
YOU SHOULD HAVE POINT THIS OUT LONG IF YOU WERE A SERIOUS CITIZEN

Or even if he is actually a sincere, honest & a progressive minded citizen or attorney in the first place.

Amen ooo

This minister of state is a waste of office...I do not see any tangible things they do...they just sit idlely in their office receiving huge salaries and allowances every month without doing anything... that office should be scrapped

then Keyamo should return all the salaries and allowances he collected for the period he was minister of state

huptin:
You waited till you finish chopping before complaining! Cunning man!!

it is called table manners

TheRealMalcolmX:


Yeah! After benefitting from the government. Probably a way to tell Tinubu to make him a "real" minister and not a minister of state........
Trying to block the way of others who could benefit from being ministers of state.
Just because you feel you're bigger than a position does not mean you should castigate it and block the way of others who would kill to be in such position.

..but that minister of state office is a waste... what tangible duties do they do..they just sit idlely in their office receiving huge amount of salaries and allowances every month doing nothing

Werey sombory

Buhari has not left and they are already throwing him under the bus.

...and the fool took the appointment and all the benefits that came with it without any complaint. Infact, he even recently bought a house in the USA.

KEYAMO IS A GATHERER NOT A SCATTERER.

usecondom:
He's right. Though, it may have come at the wrong time.

..abi... that minister of state office should be scrapped...the office is a waste....they just sit idlely in their office receiving huge amount of salaries and allowances doing nothing

And he participated in unconstitutionality, Worst still knowingly. Others could claim ignorance, but keyamo knowing fully well that his appointment was unconstitutional accepted it and collected salaries and allowances.

TonyeBarcanista:
Minister and Minister of State are simply ranks within a ministry. Both occupants are ministers but with different responsibilities and hierarchy within the ministry. It still doesn't negate the fact that both are ministers with equal privileges at the Federal Executive Council.

It's like in the Senate, all 109 Senators are equal Senators but the Senate President is of higher rank than Others in the Chamber - likewise a Senate Committee Chairman is of higher rank than other members of the Committee - yet, they all have the same right and privileges as Senators

Do we have it in the 1999 Constitution ?

..he has chopped and clean mouth the money 🤣🤣🤣🤣

He said Ministers of State , like Deputy Governors are spare tyres in Mazi Ngige voice.
They can't make decisions, they can't award contracts, any suggestions they give to the primary Minister,during any FEC meeting, he will present it as his own.

So in essence, you disagree with the Senior Advocate on the constitutionality of "Minister of State"? I hope you are a lawyer.

The Constitution only spoke on appointment of ministers, it didn't compel the President on the posting and designation of the ministers, neither did it infer that all ministers must be assigned responsibilities of equal rank.

So what separates the Minister of State from Permanent Secretaries or other non political heads of ministries?

Keyamo is part of those who practice the law but don't like justice

TonyeBarcanista:

Did the constitution mention Minister of State? What exactly is a Minister of State and its constitutional responsibilities?

Maybe Governors should follow suit and appoint "Commissioners of Local Government" to assist State Commissioners.

No Sir, Ministers of State are NOT deputies to Ministers - They are all ministers with different portfolios. It was the fault of Buhari not to assign specific responsibility to Keyamo, leaving him at the mercy of the principal minister. Hadi Sirika was a junior minister in the Ministry of Transportation (2015-2019) but was defined specific responsibilities and exercises full powers of a minister - Memo, Contract etc relating to Aviation.

I disagree with him

After benefitting from it. Modafoka!

I once said it on this platform. He was randered useless by chris Ngige, that is why he became a banter lord on twitter.

What then was the responsibilities of the minister of transportation? Who was head of the ministry between the minister and minister of state?

You waited till your tenure expires to point out an abnormality you be benefited from.. in a sane clime persons like Festus would never been taken serious again to handle any public office.. This is the height of unpatriotism

carreport:
Ungrateful cow,
Why didn't u reject the appointment..

I'm sure this message is for Tinubu not to appoint u Minister of State again...

The useless woman beater deserve a painful death

huptin:

The thing weak me.....so accepted the appointment knowing fully well you will be a puppet and unable to make any meaningful contribution to that portfolio, but still collect the salary without doing nothing.
