Festus Keyamo, Minister of State for Labour and Employment, has berated the lamentations on the whereabouts of the presidential candidate the ruling All Progressives Congress, APC, Bola Tinubu.
Keyamo, the APC presidential campaign council spokesman, who noted that the oppositions are afraid and have nightmares due to Tinubu’s absence, tweeted that Tinubu’s refusal to disclose his whereabouts was a political strategy.
Keyamo noted that the strategy was to keep the opposition guessing about Tinubu’s whereabouts.
He wrote: “Whether he’s around or not, they’re scared. @officialABAT has become their nightmare. The inquiries are out of FEAR as to what he is up to.
“The biggest political strategy is to keep your opponent guessing! Even by mere absence, @officialABAT remains the issue in this campaign.”
A cross-section of Nigerians had raised the alarm over Tinubu’s whereabouts following his absence during the peace pact signing.
The APC presidential candidate had sent his running mate, Kashim Shettima, to the event.
His absence is coming 72 hours into the official campaign for the 2023 general elections, a situation that has generated concerns among his supporters.
Tinubu left the country unannounced on Sunday for the United Kingdom, fueling speculation that the candidate may be in the UK for medical attention, considering that he spent some months in that country.
