The Minister of Aviation and Aerospace Development, Festus Keyamo, SAN, has slammed politicians who are encouraging thuggery.

According to him, those politicians have sent their children abroad while encouraging other citizens to take up arms against themselves.

He shared on X, "After safely ferrying their children abroad, some unscrupulous politicians are encouraging hapless citizens and thugs to take up weapons to kill one another under the pretext of ‘protecting their votes’. That’s fine.

"Let me reiterate what late President Buhari said pre-2019 election (which I supported and I still support): when you resort to self-help and you take up dangerous weapons in the guise of ‘protecting your votes’ and you attack anybody, it is lawful and legitimate for law enforcement agents to ‘neutralise’ you or simple ‘put you down’ in the course of their duty. And the children of the politicians will be watching your foolishness from their safe haven somewhere in the world.

"Having been forewarned, you can then go ahead and exercise your options. CHIKENA!!"
