A spokesperson for the All Progressives Congress (APC) Presidential Campaign Council for the 2023 elections, Festus Keyamo, on Tuesday denied suing Bola Tinubu for certificate forgery while the latter was Lagos State governor.

“I never sued Tinubu,” Keyamo said in a statement amid backlash of defending Tinubu, whom he allegedly sought his removal from office as Lagos State governor for alleged forgery of academic documents. “No. I sued the House of Assembly seeking an interpretation of the law.”

Keyamo, current minister of state, labour and employment was reacting to a claim by Daniel Bwala, a spokesperson for Atiku Abubakar, the presidential candidate of the opposition People’s Democratic Party (PDP). He said Keyamo had once sued Tinubu for certificate forgery.
