Nigerians too hungry to bother about their religious faiths in 2023 election – Keyamo
“Nigerians are hungry, they want to see how that hunger will be addressed, not how their Christian or Muslim faiths will be addressed."

A spokesperson of the ruling All Progressives Congress (APC) Presidential Campaign Council, Festus Keyamo, says Nigerians are too hungry to be swayed by their religious faiths in the choice they will make in the forthcoming general elections.

Mr Keyamo stated this during an interview with Channels Television on Sunday night, against the backdrop of the criticisms that have continued to trail the party’s Muslim-Muslim ticket.

The ruling APC is fielding Bola Tinubu, a South-west Muslim and Kashim Shettima, a North-east Muslim, as its presidential and vice presidential candidates in the February election.

Despite the kicks from groups, organisations and persons of Christian faith, the ruling party has not backed down on promoting the ticket, insisting that it is the best for Nigerians.

In reiterating this position, Mr Keyamo, argued that Nigerians would like to see policies that will address their hunger rather than bothering about their faiths.

“Nigerians are hungry, they want to see how that hunger will be addressed, not how their Christian or Muslim faiths will be addressed.

“They want to see our policies on agriculture and what Asiwaju has done before as governor of Lagos State, how he improved Lagos and how he will bring that kind of posterity to Nigeria as a whole,” he said.

Mr Keyamo also seized the opportunity to react to the condemnation of Tinubu/Shettima ticket by the Pentecostal Fellowship of Nigeria (PFN).

The Christian group said it has no affiliation with clergymen under its umbrella that met with Mr Tinubu in Abuja on Friday. They also rejected the same faith ticket of the party.


“They should not be coming to question the decision of our party publicly. The purpose of pastors or their duty is to lead people to heaven not to lead people to villa.

“If I go to church every Sunday, I want to hear the sermon of God and I don’t want to hear the sermon of politics or who should rule me. I want to hear the sermon of God and what will lead me to salvation and not what to lead me to the villa,” Mr Keyamo argued.

While President Muhammadu Buhari-led administration has continued to face strong criticisms from some individuals and groups for poor performance, the 2023 APC presidential candidate, Mr Tinubu, has promised to build on the incumbent’s legacy.

The same ruling party rode into power in 2015 by promising to effectively tackle insecurity, infrastructural decay and economic downturns but the reality differs.

As political parties gear towards the official commencement of campaign on 28 September, similar promises are already rolling not only from the APC candidates but also from candidates contesting under the other 17 political parties.

Festus keyamo is a fool

He's one of the many failures of this wicked government

APC must be wiped out of our political space in 2023

I once said it that Apc cannot win any election in this country if it's free and fair.

Even tilumbu knows that, that is why they are banking on rigging and vote buying.. ask yourself why is Apc confident, campaigning to return to power, because they know that as far as they can share money to people, they have them on their feet...

The money tilumbu will use in this election, if he eventually wins, Nigeria will never recover from debt

True true hunger dey, and that is the weapon Apc want to use...

Vote wisely

It is quite sad that I share same state of origin with this compound fool....

When that white man called Festus Keyamo a “Mugu” so many miscreants here were attacking the white man... Now, we all can now see that Festus Keyamo is not just a “Mugu” but he's equally a full grown idiot.

Twisted headline
Ipob pigs and propangada
Keyamo simply said Nigerians do not care about religion but are after any candidate that can address hunger in the land.

So why APC went for Muslim Muslim ticket

Is there no duck-tape in that Aso Rock to tie Mr Mugu’s mouth?? Every time he opens it the only thing that comes out is wawaaawaaaaa!!

Truly, Nigerians are hungry, but that’s because ur party has weaponized poverty against the masses for personal gain, just so no one can challenge their mismanagement of the country’s economy! Take a look outside ur gilded cage at the hungry faces, non is smiling at ur party’s candidate because they know that he is the architect of the sorrow & despair in the nation! Both u Keyamo & him will be left behind in the dustbins of history after 2023! Daniel Kanu of YEAA (Youths Earnestly Ask for Abacha) that year, is an example of the future in front of Keyamo right now!

Keyamo is right.... the hunger his oga at the top the incompetent buharo visited on the population is unprecedented. So why should nigeria reward the same party that imposed hunger on them with another term.
If tinubu transformed Lagos, how come he could not transform osun, ekiti, ogun, ondo etc. Afterall na his boys dey in charge

Cool

Okay, Mr fact checker, who unleashed the hunger Nigeria currently facing

Impoverished the citizens just to make sure they are unable to make reasonable decisions j

NIGERIANS too diversified to vote same fate ticket.

When will this evil man grow sense? / Someone that deliberately and mischievously leaked Eedris Abdulkareem request and solicitation for help.

insensitive Man

The hunger and poverty that your party promoted in order to keep the citizens enslaved.

Thank God you have acknowledged how you messed up their lives. They will be waiting to pay you back next year through the ballot.

See this fool? This is another stupid, insulting & grossly irresponsible statement unbecoming of a minister of the Federal Republic under a government that has inflicted so much pain and anguish upon a nation. These idiots don't have any regards for the suffering citizens @ all.

-Acute Food insecurity: APC caused it.
-Extreme hunger and poverty: APC caused it.
-Unabating unemployment: APC caused it.
-Acute economic meltdown: APC caused it
-Menace of killer fulanis, bandits & BH: APC caused it.
-ASUU strikes while their children schooling abroad.
-Double digit inflation & companies folding: APC.

The govt he subserves weaponised poverty yet this food have the gut to insult the sensibility of the downtrodden and beleaguered Nigerian masses by rubbing this shit on their face.

Has there ever been a time when Nigeria stopped having hungry people since 1960?

Exactly, APC weaponised hunger so that they can always manipulate Nigerians from thinking logically for themselves.
They deliberately brought abject poverty to Nigerians so they can have willing tools for their wicked and evil agenda.

just like since the beginning of time humans/animals are always hungry and looking for food. Don't get smart with me. BUHARI DELIBERATELY WEAPONIZED THE ECONOMY TO PUT MORE PEOPLE IN HUNGER. ask me why he did that

I don't believe you.

Is this Kayemo well at all. And Deborah was killed, MURIC says Muslims shouldn't vote a Christian president.

When you weaponise poverty, you talk anyhow

Hunger caused by the same party he's marketing.

And no, when it comes to religion in Nigeria, it is so sensitive that hunger is pushed aside for a moment.

Mr fact who Nigeria ... However, check my profile if you need help with your thesis, assignment, statement of purpose, dissertation, or personal statement.

Join Apc and lose your senses!
Wait oo its like this witchcraft party has a strong jazz on anyone that joins that they instantly become a zombie
