The newly appointed Director of Strategic Communications of President Muhammadu Buhari Campaign Organisation, Mr. Festus Keyamo, has given reasons why he accepted the job.
With the appointment, the Senior Advocate of Nigeria (SAN) is the official spokesperson of the president’s campaigns for the 2019 presidential election.
Keyamo said in a statement yesterday that he was consulted before the announcement and he “wholeheartedly and proudly accepted the challenge to do this for the good of my country and for posterity.”
According to him, he found an approximation of the lofty values he cherishes and have fought for all his life in President Buhari.
He said the ultimate aim of every struggle was not really to enthrone a perfect, flawless system but to enthrone a government that is “focused, determined and fiercely opposed to the unscrupulous wheelerdealers in the society, committed to protecting the interests of the down-trodden, the weak and vulnerable.
“One of the obvious ways to do this is to ensure that what belongs to all is not cornered by a few; and if they do so, to ensure that they are made to account and brought to justice. I can boldly say that no government in the history of Nigeria has recovered so much looted funds as that of President Buhari. The fact that this government has clearly chosen this path in protecting the masses of our country (as unpleasant as it has been to some) is one of the many reasons why I am so proud and bold about my support for the re-election bid of President Buhari,” he said.
