ENUGU, Nigeria (VOICE OF NAIJA) – Oby Ezekwesili, a former Minister of Education, has berated one of the spokespersons of the All Progressives Congress campaign, Festus Keyamo, over his recent petition to the Department of State Services (DSS), to arrest Mr Peter Obi, the Presidential candidate of the Labour Party, LP and his vice, Datti Ahmed.
Keyamo, the current Minister of State for Labour and Employment, had on Wednesday revealed that he had petitioned the DSS asking the secret police to arrest Obi and his vice presidential candidate.
He asked the DSS to arrest and prosecute Obi and his running mate, Datti Ahmed over alleged “incitement and treasonable felony”.
Reacting, Dr Ezekwesili said that the Minister is only but stoking the embers of destabilization of the country by engaging in what she described as a ludicrous piece of nonsense.
Ezekwesili in a tweet wrote: “I saw a ludicrous piece of nonsense by a Minister in the @NigeriaGov of @NGRPresident @MBuhari, stoking the embers of destabilization of Nigeria by goading and inciting @OfficialDSSNG to arrest the @NgLabour Presidential Candidate and his VP.
“Is Nigeria a Comedy to you folks?
“Let me tell @OfficialDSSNG @NigeriaGov @NGRPresident and the leaders of the ruling Party @OfficialAPCNg about a very wise saying of our neighbours, the Ghanaians: If no one advises you, advise yourself. A word is sufficient to prevent foolishness.”
