He Would’ve Mistakenly Sold Off Nigeria If He Mistakenly Became President – Keyamo, FFK Slam Peter Obi

Two spokespersons for the All Progressives Congress (APC) presidential campaign council, Festus Keyamo and Femi Fani-Kayode (FFK) have reacted to the details the presidential candidate of Labour Party, Peter Obi gave regarding his detention by the British immigration officers at Heathrow Airport in the United Kingdom.

Obi was detained by British immigration officers at Heathrow Airport in the United Kingdom during the Easter period.

 had said he will never “knowingly break the law” and that he is committed to challenging the 25 February election outcome.

Reacting to this, Fani Kayode tweeted,  “Until Peter Obi tells us what happened to him at Heathrow Airport and why he was accosted and detained by British immigration officials over Easter, he cannot be trusted or taken seriously.

“Peter Obi’s claim that he never “knowingly” broke the law speaks volumes and suggests that he broke it “unknowingly”.

“Sadly for him not knowing that you broke the law when you actually broke it is no defence and in any case, there are some crimes that are known as “strict liability offences” which do not even need any premeditation.

“Whichever way if Peter violated the law in any shape or form, knowingly or unknowingly, he is in trouble and he will have a case to answer.”

Keyamo, the minister of State for Labour and Employment, on his part in a tweet on Thursday wrote, “So, this is how someone would have MISTAKENLY sold off Nigeria if he had MISTAKENLY become President! Na wa!”

According to him, the ignorance of the law excuses no one.

“’Ignorantia legis neminem excusat’ is the Latin equivalent of ‘ignorance of the law excuses no one,’” he tweeted.
