Africa-Press – Nigeria. <\/strong><\/span>Festus Keyamo, the spokesman of the All Progressives Congress, APC, Presidential Campaign Council, has mocked the Peoples Democratic Party, PDP, over its protest in Abuja.<\/p>\n

Keyamo said the protest was actually a funeral procession led by undertakers who refused zoning prior to the presidential election.<\/p>\n

PDP\u2019s presidential candidate, Atiku Abubakar led a protest at the Independent National Electoral Commission, INEC, over the outcome and results announced.<\/p>\n

INEC had declared Bola Tinubu of the APC winner of the presidential election after defeating Atiku and Labour Party\u2019s Peter Obi.<\/p>\n

But, Atiku and his party had frowned at the election, which they claimed was flawed with irregularities and electoral malpractice.<\/p>\n

However, Keyamo mocked the PDP leaders for adorning black dresses during the protest.<\/p>\n

In a series of tweets, Keyamo wrote: \u201cThe adorning of black dresses by the PDP leaders in their protest to INEC office did the right thing because the event was actually a funeral procession.<\/p>\n

\u201cThe undertakers of PDP who refused to adhere to the principle of zoning took the corpse to the gates of INEC for proper burial.<\/p>\n

\u201cIf you observe the way a spokesman for PDP cries like a baby every minute on video, you will realise that his entire bogus life and future depended on their warped expectation of Atiku\u2019s victory.<\/p>\n

\u201cThat is what happens to you when you venture into politics without a second address.\u201d<\/p>\n
