A chieftain of Ohanaeze Ndigbo, Okechukwu Isiguzoro, has slammed Festus Keyamo over his recent statement against the presidential candidate of the Labour Party Peter Obi and says he is trying to inflame those calling for an interim government to prevent the swearing-in of the President-elect, Bola Tinubu.
The Secretary-General of Ohanaeze made the call while responding to Keyamo’s letter asking DSS to arrest the Labour Party, LP, presidential candidate, Peter Obi.
Isiguzoro said Keyamo was trying to burn down Nigeria by calling for Obi’s arrest over alleged inflammatory remarks.
“Keyamo wants to burn down Nigeria. Any action that would inflame the country’s heightened tension should be discouraged, he said.
“Keyamo would inflame those against Tinubu being sworn in on May 29. Keyamo is doing more harm than good to Tinubu, and it’s high time Tinubu disassociated himself from the minister’s unnecessary outburst.
“DSS should arrest Keyamo instead of inviting Obi for questioning for attempting to inflame the country and incite violence.
“Obi is not a security threat; in light of this, Ohanaeze is calling for the arrest of Keyamo for trying to incite violence across the country because the consequences of his letter will consume democracy.
“It will strengthen the agitation for those calling for an interim government. You can confirm that there is a protest for an interim national government.
“Keyamo is among the people who want to derail democracy and institute an interim government. Ohanaeze is therefore calling on DSS to invite Keyamo for questioning and provide evidence of why Obi should be arrested.”
