“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

.Meanwhile, the Senate has asked the presidency to suspend the propose 774,000 jobs which is meant for 1000 jobs in the 774 local govermnents.
