2023: “APC Will Run Issue-Based Campaign” – Keyamo

Mohammed Oluwatimileyin Taoheed reports,

Mr. Festus Keyamo, the media mouthpiece of presidential candidate of the All Progressives Congress, has assured Nigerians that the ruling party would be committed to issue-based campaigns for the 2023 presidential election.

Keyamo stated that despite tactical games from opposition parties, the APC will hold on to issues and run a neat campaign for the forthcoming 2023 general elections.

Keyamo, who is also the Minister of State for Labour and Productivity, made the claim on his Twitter page on Saturday as his response to statements of the Atiku Abubakar Presidential Campaign Organisation’s spokesman, Dino Melaye, during a fresh interview.

The minister added that the APC would refrain from calling opposition parties and their presidential candidates’ names, saying that an abusive campaign was a “sign of frustration”.

According to him: “We’ll run a clean campaign. We’ll not use abusive words on our opponents & their spokespersons. We’ll refrain from calling those who Nigerians think & say they look stupid with their gaffs as such.

“Abuses on a campaign trail are a sign of frustration. We will stick to the issues.”
