Keyamo made the assertion while reacting to the sack and appointment of new Service Chiefs by the president.

Former Minister of State for Labour and Employment, Festus Keyamo, has hailed recent appointments by President Bola Tinubu.

In a Twitter post, Keyamo claimed that all the appointments are round pegs in round holes.

Keyamo commended the Federal Government’s compliance with the court’s decision in allowing the president to appoint Service Chiefs without the approval of the National Assembly.

According to him, FG adopted the same procedure in the appointment of Service Chiefs since the days of former president, Goodluck Jonathan.

He wrote: “Every single person picked so far by @officialABAT are round pegs in round holes!

“I am also pleased to see continuous compliance by the FG with the decision of the court in the case of KEYAMO V PRESIDENT, FEDERAL REPUBLIC OF NIGERIA & another wherein I challenged the powers of Mr. President to appoint Service Chiefs without the approval of the National Assembly and won.

“Since the days of President Goodluck Jonathan that is the procedure the FG has adopted in appointing Service Chiefs. I note that the Press Release yesterday indicated the Service Chiefs need the approval of the National Assembly for their appointments to be confirmed.

“When you try to push the bounds of the law to change the system, you’re bound to win some, lose some and continue to pursue some. But the struggle must continue”
