Addressing the issue “for the very last time,” Keyamo, also the Minister of State for Labour and Employment, insisted that the opposition is only determined to blackmail Tinubu.
“This is to make one final response to all the ignorant and mischievous statements that have been made by the desperate opposition in respect of those documents that were recently exhumed from the United States concerning Asiwaju Bola Ahmed Tinubu,” Keyamo said in a recent video.
