FLASHBACK: Tinubu's Spokesman, Keyamo, Sued Lagos Assembly In 1999 For Clearing Ex-Governor Of ForgeryAccording to The Africa Report, Keyamo, who is now the Spokesman for the Tinubu Campaign Organisation, had in the case with suit number ID/639M/99, dragged all 41 members of the House before Justice C.O Segun of the Lagos State High Court.

The Minister of State for Labour and Employment, Festus Keyamo, in 1999, sued the Lagos State House of Assembly for clearing then Governor Bola Tinubu of allegations of certificate forgery and perjury.

According to The Africa Report, Keyamo, who is now the Spokesman for the Tinubu Campaign Organisation, had in the case with suit number ID/639M/99, dragged all 41 members of the House before Justice C.O Segun of the Lagos State High Court.

He had argued that the court should determine that only the chief judge could investigate Tinubu for certificate forgery.

Earlier, Gani Fawehinmi had accused Tinubu of forging his school certificates and sought an order from the court compelling the police to investigate him. The court ruled that because Tinubu enjoyed immunity at the time, only the Lagos State House of Assembly could investigate him.

The Assembly subsequently investigated him and within a week, he was cleared of all wrongdoing.

Dissatisfied with the resolution of the Lagos Assembly, Keyamo, who was a protégé of Fawehinmi sued all the members of the state legislature for clearing Tinubu.

In the origination motion, Keyamo noted that Tinubu had in the forms he submitted to the Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC), stated that he attended Government College, Ibadan, from 1965 to 1968 and then proceeded to Richard Daley College, Chicago, Illinois, USA, from 1969 to 1971 before completing his studies at the Chicago State University in 1979 but that the certificates were lost.

Keyamo recalled that based on the allegations that the certificates were forged, the Lagos State House of Assembly set up a five-member panel that investigated Tinubu for only four days and could not have done a thorough job. 

He added that the Assembly lacked the constitutional power to investigate perjury and its findings were thus null and void.

He, therefore, sought four reliefs including a declaration by the court that “the final report submitted by the said five-man panel on Monday, September 27, 1999, to the defendants which in its totality cleared the Governor of Lagos State, Senator Bola Ahmed Tinubu of allegations of forgery and perjury is null and void and of no effect.”

However, the court struck out the matter because it was not supported by an affidavit. Keyamo took the case to the Court of Appeal where he lost again and then to the Supreme Court where he was finally defeated.

In his response to The Africa Report, however, Keyamo said he only challenged the right of the Lagos Assembly to clear Tinubu and not the actual findings of the report.

This was when Festus Keyamo have not been invited to join the dining table. Now he is observing table manners. The quest for filthy lucre have consumed him a long time ago. Gani must be turning in his grave @ present.

...

The bat is truly living up to the reputation of a bat as a controversial animal.
The bat & controversies like...

Keyamo was a religious trouble maker way back tormenting a certain man and years later today he’s now a religious sycophant to the same man.

Dammn that’s really harddd @$@!

I do tell people around me that activism is like a Bus travelling on a long journey like Lagos to Sokoto. When each person on the bus gets to their bus stop, they alight. Keyamo rode the activism bus for a while till he got to APC bus stop , he jumped down the bus waving at the other occupants of the bus wishing them safe Journey. Today he is the spokesperson of the same person he sued for giving false information about his educational background.

The fact that the same Keyamo was recently on TV arguing that Tinubu studied for his primary and secondary school education at home is just laughable and makes one question the integrity of these people and their principal.

The same way Ribadu the former EFCC is seen moving around with Tinubu today(The same Tinubu he probed for corruption charges back then)

Well, I don't really blame them for their choices sha, this is Nigeria and Man must wack.

In 1999, Festus Keyamo files an action in a High Court sitting in Lagos challenging the legality of the panel of the House of Assembly which cleared then, Governor Bola Tinubu of alleged perjury and falsification of records.

In 2022, Same Keyamo became the spokesman of Bola Tinubu, defending same falsification of records allegation.

WHAT A WORLD!!! Few months from now, this shameless idiot of a lawyer will become irrelevant for life.

PETER OBI we know

Tinubu this Tinubu that. Make una still let the man rest

Together we can get it right this time around.

Peter Obi for president

Now he is in for stomach infrastructure, cowards

From high court to court of appeal then supreme Court just to challenge the right of house assembly to clear him? Tell another lie

Pls OP, put of this mic, now he is chopping.

By d way,
Tinibu artist(olamide Badoo) never advice he oga make he step down?


Even olamide know say BAT na 4ked-up

Ok

We all know that Tinubu is a Drug Baron Criminal.
A man who changed his identity because of the terrible things he has done.

Nothing them wan tell us, he can never be president of Nigeria.

These guys have no shame...

Atleast, their Families are benefitting from this current failed administration...

I'm only concerned with those whom are currently suffering yet shouting APC or PDP because of Party, Religious or Tribal sentiments.

PDP and APC are same set of politicians.

It's better to vote for someone who's intelligent, Smart and has got less baggage than these known Criminals.

If you think Tinubu or Atiku has something to offer, then you really need your head examined.

Tinubu or Atiku do not care about anyone.

They only just want to enrich their Generations that would come and still enslave your Generations.

Be Wise

We Nigerians are truly the cause of our problems

The main goal of most activists are to get a political appointment. They only deceive u to make you think they are fighting for u

Anything that makes APC is ok by me.

Festus Keyamo
Femi Adeshina
Femi Fani-Kayode

Men without Principles. It's not a coincidence their names starts with the letter F (Frauds)

Tinubu is a crook.

Adeling:
Tinubu this Tinubu that. Make una still let the man rest

there is no peace for the wicked
