Recently elevated Senior Advocate of Nigeria and human right lawyer Mr. Festus Keyamo SAN has come under heavy attack over his attempt to tweet about the defection of former Vice President of Nigeria, Alhaji Atiku Abubakar.
He tweeted: “The starting point of Atiku’s Presidential bid would’ve been to simply admit that he left APC in search of another party ticket. Nigerians know that already. It would’ve been more honourable than giving some zigzag reasons to justify his zigzag movements across political partie”s
His complaint about Atiku’s motives above apparently did not go down well with many of his twitter followers.
Some of their reactions are better read;
These social media people don’t have chill!

Mr. S.A.N, I didn't see your comments when Obanikoro left PDP and joined APC.

Same ticket that Buhari was chasing around from APP to ANPP to CPC and finally APC. If it was good for Buhari, WHY not for Atiku. U did not raise an issue when Orji Uzor Kanu or Obanikoro joined APC. What does @atiku owe you?

Now I have confirmed how you finally got ur so called S.A.N but when has @atiku political career become your headache or is he the only person to have left one political party for another? @MObanikoro just joined @APCNigeria & ur tweet is nowhere to be found. Face ur court Oga

I think ur recent public tantrum is a reflection of benevolence that SANship confers! How I wish Gani is alive! Shameful.

@fkeyamo I waited to see if you'd make any comment when obanikoro and Kalu defected to the APC but didn't. Don't make Nigerians feel you're a member of the ruling APC. I know you to be a person who speak for the oppressed but ever since PMB took over power you've been very quiet.

You have mouth to talk about zigzag movement when you are so zigzag confusing Nigerians with stupid APC and your nonsense president is the most zigzag party movement. I suppose he is a zigzagist that's why you guys hide his stories lol
