The minister of state for labour and employment, Festus Keyamo says the All Progressives Congress (APC) should blame itself for losing the gubernatorial election in Bayless state to the People’s Democratic Party, PDP.
The Supreme Court on Thursday upturned the victory of the APC and it’s candidate, David Lyon while installing Duoye Diri and the PDP as duly elected.
Which necessitated, Adams Oshiomhole, national chairman of the party, to kick against the ruling, saying there was an attempt to foist a less popular candidate on the people of Bayelsa.

But Keyamo, a senior advocate of Nigeria (SAN), toed a different line, asking the party to examine its internal mechanism.
“The S/Court has been firm & resolute so far regarding pre-election cases & Election Petitions. I commend their lordship. As a party, we have to look at our own internal mechanisms that make us give our victories needlessly away to the opposition & take appropriate actions,” Keyamo wrote on Twitter.
