After Being Assigned Ministerial Portfolio, Festus Keyamo Sends Message To Tinubu

Minister-designate for Aviation and Aerospace Development,  Festus Keyamo on Wednesday night, promised not to disappoint President Bola Tinubu on his ministerial appointment.

Keyamo gave the assurance in a terse statement posted on his official X handle.

He said, “Thank you, Mr. President. On my honour, I promise not to disappoint.”

His promise comes a few moments after President Bola Tinubu allocated portfolios to his recently appointed ministers.

Keyamo served as a Minister of State for Labour and Employment during the administration of the immediate past President, Muhammadu Buhari.

Recall that there was an uproar in the senate during Keyamo’s ministerial screening after he was accused by Senator Darlington Nwokocha (LP, Abia Central) of insulting lawmakers in the Ninth Assembly.

Keyamo apologised with explanations, after the Senate President, Godswill Akpabio, had restored calm in the upper chamber.

Similarly, Kanyi Daily reported that immediate past governors of Ebonyi and Rivers States, David Umahi and Nyesom Wike, have been appointed as Minister of Works, and Minister of the Federal Capital Territory respectively.
