The Minister of State for Labour and Employment, Barr Festus Keyamo (SAN), has expressed gratitude to the presidential candidate of the All Progressives Congress (APC), Asiwaju Bola Tinubu, and his running mate Kashim Shettima, for finding him worthy to be appointed spokesperson of the presidential campaign organization.
In a tweet on Friday, Keyamo said he is humbled by the appointment.
He said: “Special thanks to @officialABAT and @KashimSM for finding me worthy to lead the line in the APC 2023 Presidential Campaign Council as Official Spokesperson. I am humbled because both great leaders have been reputed to possess the uncanny ability to nurture mentees.”
The APC, on Thursday, named Plateau State governor and Chairman of the Northern Governors’ Forum, Simon Lalong, as the Director General of the Bola Tinubu Presidential Campaign Organisation.
National Chairman of the APC, Abdullahi Adamu, who announced it after a meeting with President Muhammadu Buhari at the Presidential Villa, added that Keyamo has been chosen as the spokesperson for the campaign.
“We have a spokesperson in the person of Festus Keyamo. The deputy spokesperson is Hannatu Musawa. This is what we came to discuss with the President.”
