Festus Keyamo, Minister of State for Labour and Employment, has insulted Afenifere, a Yoruba socio-political party, for claiming that Labour Party (LP) flagbearer Peter Obi won the February 25 presidential election.
Remember that Afenifere claimed that the Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC) rigged the presidential election results in favor of All Progressives Congress candidate Bola Tinubu (APC).
The organization said in a statement released on Wednesday by its National Secretary, Sola Ebiseni, said results from credible sources revealed that the LP candidate won the poll.

Afenifere also endorsed the former Governor of Anambra State’s choice to dispute the electoral umpire’s contradictory declaration.
The organization also urged Lagos residents to vote for the LP’s Gbadebo Rhodes-Vivour in the 2019 governorship race.
In a post on Thursday from his verified Twitter account, Keyamo stated that the factional Afenifere can claim the LP flagbearer as its president.
The minister also urged the organisation to hang Obi’s portrait with the inscription ‘President and Commander-in-Chief of Afenifere’ in its secretariat.
He wrote: “In that case, this factional Afenifere is at liberty to hang Peter Obi’s portrait at its secretariat with the inscription ‘President and Commander-in-Chief of Afenifere’.”
