Lagos lawyer, Festus Keyamo wants to run for Governorship. Is he serious?

Lagos lawyer and human rights activist, Festus Keyamo, who recently announced his plans to contest in the forthcoming governorship election in Delta State, south Nigeria, has said that his ambition is borne out of the need to rescue a dying state from the hands of tyrants.


Keyamo is said to have been having interactive sessions with indigenes and residents of the state over his governorship ambition, said, he was going into politics on a rescue mission to save the state.

'It is part of my traditional struggles. It is one of such battle I have been fighting. I want to refrain from too much rhetoric,' he said, adding that the politicians in the state had bamboozled the people with such rhetoric only to loot the treasury and steal public funds, a practice which he said had become the order of the day.

'Delta state has become known with the history of looting and opening the treasury for everyone in politics. If you get to the state now, you will be shocked at the level of degradation,' he lamented.

Some Deltans have given him their blessings including the people of Ughelli.

But is he serious, .......seriously
