Nigerian presidential candidate Bola Tinubu has named Festus Keyamo as his campaign spokesman. Keyamo reportedly sued the Lagos State House of Assembly for clearing the then-governor on claims of certificate fraud.
In the case titled ‘Keyamo vs Lagos State House of Assembly,’ docket number ID/639M/99, in 1999, Keyamo summoned all 41 members of the Lagos State House of Assembly before Justice C.O Segun of the Lagos State High Court and demanded that the chief judge investigate Tinubu for forgery.
WITHIN NIGERIA had earlier reported that legendary activist and lawyer Gani Fawehinmi had accused Tinubu of forging his school certificates and sought an order from the court compelling the police to investigate him. The court ruled that because Tinubu enjoyed immunity at the time, only the Lagos State house of assembly could investigate him.
