Festus Keyamo Did Not Make The Blasphemous Comment Attributed To Him! by theoldpretender(m): 1:29pm On Feb 07, 2019
This is a response to the thread....

Buhari's memory loss normal

Today, Festus Keyamo,SAN made a comment,of which the first part is attached below.

I would like to draw Nairalander's attention to the first part of the comment...


“This is classic FAKE NEWS (no single link to a CREDIBLE source)

Note...KEYAMO is essentially prefacing the blasphemous quote by saying it is FAKE NEWS...not from any credible source.

Yet, the tweet was taken out of context and misnterpreted as Keyamo making a blasphemous quote.

This is the sad state of affairs we find ourselves in, that fake news is being openly propagated in Nairaland. I must remind our countrymen that many times in our country's history, atrocities have been committed as a result of fake news.

I appeal to Seun, Mynd44 and Lalasticlala to take down the previous thread,and for the website to in the name of PEACE retract the original news story.

For the peace and prosperity of Nigeria

Those that fail to learn from history are prone to repeat grievous mistakes of the past. Folks have forgotten that fake utterances are among major reasons for wars and conflicts. Rwanda, Biafra, etc come to mind.

A president that loses his mind....

Is that one a president?

He should be in a retirement home not in Aso rock
