Senators Describe Keyamo’s Outbursts as Executive Rascality

In the light of the outbursts between SAN Festus Keyamo, the Honorable Minister of State for Labour and Employment and the Nigerian Senates.

Two senators, at separate press conferences on Wednesday, lambasted Keyamo over his outbursts at the investigative hearing organized by the National Assembly joint panel.

The senators – Messrs Ifeanyi Ubah and Gershom Basset – described Keyamo’s attitude as executive rascality.

Ubah said, “I can speak as a member of the Senate committee on the media that it is not a good thing for an appointee of the executive to behave the way he did.

“It is the duty of the legislature to check   the executive.  As a representative of my constituents, it is something worthwhile for me to request how the distribution of employment to Nigerians are handled by an appointee of the executive who is not even a substantive minister.

“I felt it is a very bad display of rascality. I don’t know what a senator will be doing with a job of N20,000 and N30,000, if not to make sure that it is given to people in his constituency.

Bassey noted with regret that Keyamo’s attitude was not only disgraceful but also unfortunate. “Such rascality should be highly condemned by Nigerians,” he said.
