"It’s Only In Heaven That There Are No Security Issues; Nigeria Is On Earth" — Festus Keyamo

The Nigerian Minister of State for Labour and Employment, Mr Festus Keyamo on Friday said the exacerbating insecurity across the country is not enough to say that President Muhammadu Buhari’s administration has failed.

Keyamo, the spokesperson for the presidential campaign organization of the ruling All Progressives Congress (APC) for the 2023 general elections, stated this while featuring on a Channels Television programme on Friday.

According to him, all over the world including most secured countries such as the United States of America, there are security breaches so Nigeria's case is no different. He said his party didn't promise Nigerians that there would never be insecurity or security breaches but that when such security breaches occurred there would be an adequate response.

He said, "Last week those who were gathering around bushes of Abuja, they were raided and flushed out and killed; that is what we promised. We promised response. We did not promise that it will not happen. We promised response and we responded last week. We killed them and Abuja is safe now. 
.
"There will be no incident of such around the bushes of Abuja again. We promised response and we have delivered response. People should not engage in scaremongering. Let me tell you about the psychology of bandits -they want to scare people. Their oxygen is fear, scaremongering, they want to create panic. That is the oxygen of the terrorists. 

When you don't give them that oxygen of fear, of panic or publicity, they will filter a way, and so when you heard there is one security breach around the areas of Abuja, and the press will blow it the next day.  It is only in heaven that there will be no security breach at all and we have not arrived in heaven. We are on earth so there must be security breaches. So I'm telling you that we have responded well."

Mr. Kayemo why are you always defending  a failed Government? Where is your Conscience? Or because  Any of your family have not been abducted by this deadly terrorist  called bandits? Well, my candid advice for you to your  principal  president  Buhari  to act  fast before they topple his Government this group are everywhere .You and I know that the first  primary duty of any government is to self guard lives and prosperities. Thanks
