Keyamo’s insistence on the legitimacy of the ‘College of Leaders’ has been questioned.
Festus Keyamo, SAN, Minister of Aviation and Aerospace Development, has come under fire for his role in forming a ‘College of Leaders’ in the Delta State chapter of the All Progressives Congress (APC).
The group, which Keyamo touted as the ultimate decision-making body for the party in the state, was rejected by Obarisi Senator Ovie Omo-Agege, CFR, Deputy President of the 9th Senate, as an unconstitutional error.
According to a statement signed by Hon. (Chief) Evance Ochuko Ivwurie, Keyamo’s insistence on the legitimacy of the ‘College of Leaders’ despite its rejection by the party’s National Working Committee (NWC) and other stakeholders, is a clear indication of his disregard for the party’s constitution.

“You are therefore not a serious politician, everyone has their gift in politics. Those who operate outside television stations and contest election with sincere desire to win do not joke with respect for their parties’ constitutions,” the statement said

The statement also questioned Keyamo’s leadership style, saying: “Yesterday, it was quite laughable to hear you say that even if your private pressure group is not recognized by the constitution, then is it a one-man rule that should be recognized? This level of thinking should be beneath you. Every party member is a ‘leader’ in his space within the context of the party, but positive influence in this regard increases leadership. Envy and hate are not substitutes for influence-based leadership.”
The statement further described Senator Omo-Agege as a “field marshal of the grassroots” and dismissed Keyamo’s claims that the senator worked against President Bola Ahmed Tinubu as “hogwash”.
