Jagajaga Reloaded: ‘His Next Ambition Is To Be Delta Gov’ – Eedris Abdulkareem Fires Back At Festus Keyamo
Veteran artiste, Eedris Abdulkareem has fired back at Festus Keyamo, minister of state for labour and employment, for claiming that he once begged to join President Muhammadu Buhari-led government for money.
Keyamo, however, fired back in a lengthy Twitter thread on Saturday, alleging that Abdulkareem’s action was informed by the fact that he rejected the singer’s request to join Buhari’s media team in 2018.
In the post, the minister shared screenshots of personal conversation with the musician, narrating how Abdulkareem begged him for money and pleaded for help to “get into the system.”
In response, Eedris Abdulkareem made a post on his Instagram page but did not deny sending asking for money from Keyamo.
The musician said his resolve to seek help from the minister in 2018 when his mother was sick was due to the long-standing friendship between them at the time, but got no help from him.
The musician said it was unfortunate that Keyamo would share personal conversation between the pair about three years ago publicly despite all he also did for him in the past.
Abdulkareem recalled how he stood by Keyamo when he was imprisoned alongside other comrades during the administration of Olusegun Obasanjo, former president.
He also stated that he thought Keyamo was a comrade who could effect change in the government in 2018, but was disappointed that he joined the cabal and became an inner caucus.
Abdulkareem went on to link the minister to Lekki Toll Gate incident, adding that current happenings in the country made him return to the studio to make a second part to his 2004 song, Jagajaga.
He wrote:
JAGA JAGA TI GET E…
Did Festus Keyamo join the cabal or not?
When he was in prison, I stood by him, I fought Obasanjo on behalf of all the comrades in prison, I released Jagajaga.
When my mother was dying, I reached out to a brother, or one I thought was a brother and a comrade. Could he have helped, yes, did he help, NO…such was the wickedness of his heart that he munched and kept personal details for three years…real Hallmark of a Blackmailer!In 2018, I still thought the man was a comrade. Thought he could effect change in the government he served. Then he joined the cabal, he became inner caucus and held the steering wheel spiralling Nigeria into doom.
He joined to crush the revolution of the youths, he joined the cabal. The cabal which mowed down our youths at LEKKI TOLL GATE.With a vexed spirit, I went again to the studio for “Jagajaga Reloaded” and the Blackmailer went to town. The cabal is awoken. The cabal is hit. The cabal is in pain. The cabal is failing. The cabal will FALL.
The Blackmailer said I recorded a song for Buhari. The said song is titled : “Obasanjo Write Buhari Letter”. Here is the link to that song, listen and you will phantom the deviousness and dubiousness of the evil SAN (Senior Advocate Blackmailer of Nigeria) called Festus Keyamo.
Issues raised on Jagajaga Reloaded are facts. Nigeria never had it so bad. The Jagajaga has taken a gargantuan dimension. We must keep asking questions. We must ask the cabal questions.
Festus Keyamo don join the cabal. He is in pains because his next ambition is to be governor of Delta State. Perhaps to localise grand looting, terrorism, murdering and raping of our citizens, kidnapping, which his cabal have romanticised and packaged as banditry, and sundry other mis-governance. This is why Jagajaga ti get e! Festus Keyamo na cabal.
