Festus Keyamo, the chief spokesperson of the presidential campaign council of the All Progressives Congress (APC), has reacted to the endorsement of a former business partner of Bola Tinubu, the ruling party's presidential candidate.

Recall that Apara was sacked from Alpha Beta in 2018 and in 2020, he accused Tinubu of owing the firm by proxy, a development that necessitated his sack while his shared profits were withheld for the period he worked with the organisation.

He also made other allegations against Tinubu, including money laundering, tax evasion, forgery and other fraudulent acts.
