Nigerians have criticised the director, strategic communications of President Muhammadu Buhari’s 2019 presidential campaign, Festus Keyamo, SAN, over his recent comment that the President is a friend of the poor.
This is coming a few days after his controversial comment that the President does not need a Secondary School Certificate to contest in the presidential election. The comment generated a lot of backlash from social media users.
Keyamo had taken to his twitter to say that Buhari is,
“The nightmare of PDP since 2003! The demystifier of old power-blocs! The slayer of the corrupt! The friend of the poor! The one the thieves love to hate! My guy!”
See some of the reactions:

In all this I just wonder Mr Festus, how much? Is this worth it? These lies and all. What would it profit a man if he gained the whole world and yet looses his soul?

I love the way you defend this man. You don’t see anything wrong with all he’s doing. With the killings in Zamfara and some parts of the north. You are enjoying what’s happening in the country right?

When you see a “SAN” worshiping a senior secondary school certificate holder (disputed) a No WAEC holder. You will agree with me that the head of such SAN had turned upside down and needs urgent help! It’s a pity this happened to Keyamo SMH ?♂️

The friend of the poor ?
No wonder he made the country its HQ— Pure Water & Lots Of Ice?? (@ArabOfficial_) April 17, 2019
You forgot to add, the ‘purveyor of poverty’ . The only man whose integrity only manifests when hunting the opposition, but turns a blind eye to his kinsmen taking bribes in dollars. Oh yes he is a legendary conman and posterity will judge him accordingly.

Poverty loves Buhari so much that it gave him the Paupers Touch, which is the opposite of the Midas Touch. With the Pauper’s Touch, everything Buhari touches turns to POVERTY #BuhariFriendofPoverty
