The Minister of Aviation, Festus Keyamo, has said Nigerians have expressed their views through the just concluded Federal Capital Territory (FCT) area council elections and by-elections held in Rivers and Kano states.
Keyamo made the remark in a post shared on his verified X handle on Sunday.
InfoStride News reports that the Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC) conducted the FCT area council elections alongside by-elections in Rivers and Kano states on February 21.
Reacting to the outcome of the polls, the minister stated that the results reflected the will of voters.
“The real Nigerians have now spoken for themselves, not those who pose for cameras in front of the National Assembly, claiming to speak for Nigerians.
“Not some funny journalists who don’t know the polling units in their villages, seated comfortably in some studios and claiming to speak for Nigerians and not the clueless opposition claiming to speak for Nigerians.
“Everyone or any group have a right to their opinions, but never claim to speak for ‘Nigerians’ when there is no yardstick to ascertain your claim.
“When you make your point, clearly state it is your own belief or the position of your NGO or organisation, but do not pose as some Voltron defending majority of ‘Nigerians’. That is just my point,” he wrote.
