Minister of State for Labour and Employment, Festus Keyamo has slammed Peter Obi, the presidential candidate of the Labour Party, for lashing out at Dino Melaye at the presidential town hall meeting held on Sunday, November 6.

During the presidential debate organised by Arise TV, Peter Obi tackled Dino after one of the attendees stood up to question the presidential candidates and someone who he presumed to be Dino Melaye said “Na wa o, Obi people.'' On hearing the words, Peter Obi snapped at Dino saying;

“Stop that Dino. Why are you always calling me? I won’t take that. This man is from ANPP. Why are you calling him Obi people?” upset Peter Obi said.

Taking to his Twitter page to share his thoughts, Festus Keyamo, who is the spokesperson of the APC Presidential campaign council shared a video of President Buhari addressing some restless lawmakers in the National Assembly during one of his previous presentations and said that Peter Obi's response was ''unstatesmanlike''.

Keyamo described Peter Obi's comment at the debate as "unstatesmanlike". Adding that he is not fit for the highest office.

"Take a look at both videos. One was PMB being heckled at NASS in 2018 by same character that heckled Peter Obi last Sunday. Watch PMB’s quiet and dignified response to them and P.O’s unstatesmanlike response. You will understand that some people are not fit for the highest office''
