He said Festus Keyamo is not a “substantive Minister”, but behaved rascally, wondering what he would benefit from manifesting ignorance of how the legislature works.
Speaking at a press briefing in Abuja, he argued: “The legislature is empowered to check activities of the executive.
“Festus Keyamo is not even a substantive Minister. A rascal and he came here to display rascality.
“What will a Senator be doing with N20,000 or N30,000 if not for the interest of Nigerians”, he remarked.
