Comedian Debo Adebayo a.k.a Mr Macaroni has slammed Minister of State for Labour and Employment, Festus Keyamo for spreading fake news about Peter Obi, the Labour Party candidate for the 2023 presidential elections.
Keyamo had shared a report on his twitter handled alleging that Obi and Peoples Democratic Party candidate, Abubakar Atiku have reached an agreement to forge an alliance.
“ We told the OBIdient soldiers that their ‘hero’ was taking them to nowhere; taking them for a ride of the century and for political 419! We laugh! We are ahead of them!” Keyamo said in his tweet.
The Obi-Datti campaign group has denied that there was any such alliance, however Mr. Macaroni weighed in: “It is embarrassing that a Serving Minister who sadly is also a Senior Advocate of Nigeria is at the forefront of spreading fake news.
“This is a senior officer in the government that claims to be fighting Fake News. This Man was once a respected figure. How unfortunate.”
