Festus Keyamo, the minister of state, labour and employment, has come hard on the opposition and critics of President Muhammadu Buhari, saying the Nigerian electorate abandoned them in the 2019 general elections.
Keyamo dismissed the allegations that President Buhari is silencing critics and opposition, saying the president has no reason to silence those who had been silenced by the 15 million Nigerians who voted for him.
The labour minister in a thread of tweets posted on Monday, January 13, added that President Buhari who did not silence the opposition during the elections have no reason to do so "after their 'threat' during the elections is over".

He said: "There are butterflies amongst us who think they’re birds. They shouted themselves hoarse against us during elections, yet the voters didn’t listen & nobody ‘silenced’ them. Is it after their ‘threat’ during elections is over that anyone would be interested in silencing them?
This President has NO REASON to silence those already silenced by the roaring voices of 15m voters in the last 2 general elections. These tiny bad losers are rather the ones who want to silence the voices of those 15 million citizens & govt has a responsibility to prevent that."
