Africa-Press – Nigeria. <\/strong><\/span>The immediate past Minister of State for Labour and Employment, Festus Keyamo, has denied dragging President Bola Tinubu\u2019s administration to court over the appointment of Service Chiefs.<\/p>\n

Keyamo said those circulating the claim on social media are mischief makers.<\/p>\n

Keyamo was accused of dragging Tinubu to court over the appointment of Service Chiefs without the approval of the National Assembly.<\/p>\n

However, Keyamo said his tweet on the matter was misconstrued, stressing that he only praised the Federal Government for obeying a ruling he instituted in the past.<\/p>\n

Tweeting, Keyamo said he instituted the legal action during the administration of late President Musa Yar\u2019Adua\u2019s administration.<\/p>\n

According to Keyamo: \u201cSome mischief makers are circulating fake news on Social Media that I have dragged the Tinubu-led Federal Government to court over the appointment of Service Chiefs without the approval of the National Assembly.<\/p>\n

\u201cThis is such a dumb misrepresentation of what I tweeted a few days ago.<\/p>\n

\u201cMy tweet was rather to praise and commend the Federal Government for complying with the judgment in the case I instituted during the Yar\u2019Adua administration and won during the Goodluck Jonathan administration to the effect that Service Chiefs\u2019 appointment must also get the approval of the National Assembly.<\/p>\n

\u201cI noted the compliance with that judgment when the Press Release was made last week on the appointments.<\/p>\n

\u201cIt was the Yar\u2019Adua administration I took to court after I wrote several letters to the Attorney-General at that time and the National Assembly, drawing their attention to the anomaly and I was ignored. I hope the mischief makers can now rest on this issue.\u201d<\/p>\n
