Minister of State for Labour and Employment, Festus Keyamo, has branded Labour Party presidential candidate, Peter Obi, as deceptive in his political pursuit.

Keyamo, in a post obtained from his Twitter handle on Saturday, said the former Anambra State governor was working for PDP presidential candidate, Atiku Abubakar, in the background.

Keyamo’s claim came amid speculations that Obi might work for the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) counterpart in the 2023 general elections.

Obi on Thursday was reported to have had a meeting with the former President Olusegun Obasanjo, the Rivers State Governor, Nyesom Wike and other Governors of the opposition parties in London.

It was speculated that the meeting was part of negotiations and alignments towards the 2023 general elections.

Speaking on the development, Keyamo said Obi was taking his supporters for the ride of the century.

He added that the All Progressives Congress (APC) would always stand ahead of other political parties in the country.

“We told the OBIdient soldiers that their ‘hero’ was taking them to nowhere; taking them for a ride of the century and for political 419! We laugh! We are ahead of them!”, the Minister said.
