Yoruba apex socio-political group, Afenifere has reacted to the appointment of human rights lawyer, Festus Keyamo, SAN, as the spokesperson for the President Muhammadu Buhari Campaign Organization.
Afenifere, speaking through its spokesperson, Yinka Odumakin, said the senior lawyer had the right to accept or reject the offer.
Odumakin, however, told Sun that it was hypocritical on the part of Buhari to announce Keyamo’s appointment while he was telling the international community that he was not focused on the election.
“He has the right to accept any job that he wants to and Buhari can appoint anyone that he wants as well.
“But, there is so much hypocrisy surrounding this appointment.
“Buhari was with Theresa May of Britain, on Monday, where he said that while others where fixated on the next election, he is concentrating on improving the economy of the country, but, while he was making that statement, Chibuike Amaechi was writing an appointment letter for a spokesman for a campaign for which he is yet to win the ticket of his party.
“Is that not hypocrisy?
“His party has not held its primary and he has already started appointing people for his campaign,” Odumakin said.
