Why I Asked Keyamo For Money – Eedris Abdulkareem
Veteran musician, Eedris Abdulkareem, has responded to the revelation by the minister of state for labour, Festus Keyamo about him. Keyamo had accused Eedris of blackmailing him in his new song ‘Jagajaga Reloaded’ because he refused to give him money in 2018 to campaign for president Muhammadu Buhari.
But Eedris responding in his Instagram page said in 2018 he looked up to Keyamo as a brother and a comrade who loved Nigeria and demanded for money because his mother was dying. His post read: “Did Keyamo join the cabal or not?, When he was in prison I stood for him, I fought Obasanjo on behalf of all the comrade in prison. I released ‘Jagajaga’.
“When my mother was dying, I reached out to a brother, or the one I thought was a brother and a comrade, could he have helped? Yes, did he help no. Such was the wickedness of Keyamo’s heart that he munched and kept personal details for three years. Real Hallmark of Blackmailer.
In 2018, I still thought the waswas a comrade who could effect a change in the government he served, then he joined the cabal, he became an inner cause and held the steering wheel spiralling Nigeria into doom. He joined the cabal which mowed down our youths at Lekki Toll gate.
With a vexed spirit I went again to the studio for Jagajaga Reloaded and the blackmailer went to town, the cabal is awoken, the cabal is hit, the cabal is in pain, the cabal is failing, the cabal will fall.
The blackmailer said I recorded a song for Buhari, the said song is titled “ Obasanjo write Buhari letter”, here is the link to that song, listen and you will phantom the dubiousness of the evil (SAN) Senior Advocate Blackmailer of Nigeria called Festus Keyamo” Eedris said.
The musician went ahead to admonsish Nigeria not to be threatened, but to keep asking questions about the state of the nation. “Issues raised in Jagajagareloaded are facts, Nigeria never had it so bad, the Jagajaga has taken a gargantuan dimension, we must keep asking questions, we must ask the cabal questions.
