Festus Keyamo Tackles Journalists, Activists Who Kick Against The Electoral Law

 Minister of Aviation and Aerospace Development, Festus Keyamo, has criticised some journalists and opposition figures for allegedly presenting their personal opinions as the views of Nigerians.

In a post on X on Thursday, Keyamo described the practice as “amusing,” questioning how such individuals could claim to speak for “the Nigerian people.”

In a post shared on X this morning, Keyamo took a swipe at the dissenting voices.

He wrote ‘’It is amusing to see how some journalists and core opposition characters, posing as ‘activists’, continually express their own deep-seated biases as the wishes of ‘the Nigerian people’. How and where did they aggregate the views of ‘the Nigerian people’?

Perhaps, by ‘the Nigerian people’, they are referring to those usual suspects who gather at the entrance of the National Assembly and pose for cameras; or the 15 Senators who voted against the majority of 94 Senators; or the less that 25 Rep members who walked out on the majority of over 300 Rep members; or those vocal few who hop from one TV station to the next everyday; or those who gather under the comment section on social media and vent their spleen - just how did they aggregate the views of ‘the Nigerian people’?

Nigerians should be alert as we enter an election season. Some journalists and almost every so-called ‘neutral’ commentator or activist you see or hear in the media are all working for one interest or the other; they just don’t have the guts to come out with their full chest to openly support the political party or candidate for which or whom they are working.''
