Festus Keyamo, Minister of Aviation and Aerospace Development, has declared that the All Progressives Congress is not a party of saints, but it is still a superior alternative to the Peoples Democratic Party.
On Saturday, Keyamo referenced an interview he gave to a site in 2017 in a message accompanied by a video via his verified X (previously Twitter) profile, stressing that his views had recently been taken out of context.
He wrote, “This is the unedited part of the interview I granted a blog in 2017 (nine years ago) emphasising that APC may not be a Party of saints (which, I repeat, is a matter of fact), BUT it is still far better than where we were coming from. Some characters edited the last part of my statement out of it.

“And today, I repeat it again, I will be a fool to say APC is a Party of saints. And anyone who declares any Party to which he/she belongs as a Party of saints will also be a fool.”
Keyamo stressed that while no political party is without flaws, he believes the APC offers greater prospects for Nigeria compared to the PDP, which previously governed the country.
“But, on the balance, the APC still holds the best hope for the country and we cannot return to the era of PDP where you had some of the characters who are running for President today.
“It was only Mr. President, Asiwaju Bola Ahmed Tinubu @officialABAT that never hopped onto that battered train of PDP at that time,” he added.
