Eedris Abdulkareem, your wet dirty linens are waiting for you at the market square. Keyamo has finished spreading them.
All the receipts have been splashed on twitterville.
Here is the story.
When Keyamo was made director in Buharis campaign , Eedris approached his old friend.
Eedris was broke but his priority was to help Buhari.😝
He said he wanted to help Buhari. He said he had a song.
After a bit of wait and many ‘abeg na’ text messages , Keyamo granted him audience. And told him he had no budget with which to buy songs for the campaign. Keyamo said his own involvement was voluntary.
Eedris left.
A little later, Eedris re appeared. He said he had bills and his mother was sick. He said he was desperate. He had spoken to Malami to help him reach Amaechi . So he wanted Keyamo to give him a N3m loan and to help him paint a good PR before Malami and Amaechi.
Unfortunately he had told someone else that he needed money because his child was sick. His stories didnt gel, didn’t fetch him anything.
Eedris defected.
A couple months or so later , Eedris surfaced with a missile. He called Buhari a succesful fraudster. The same buhari he had pledged to work body and soul for if he had received money.
The Buhari campaign ignored Eedris. They didn’t see the need to throw sand sand inside a struggling man’s garri.
Atiku lost.
Now, Edris has released a song. Jagajaga reloaded. In the song , he called out Keyamo. He insinuated that Keyamo started chopping and perhaps forgot activism and friends.
So Keyamo has responded. He didn’t hit Eedris’ car
Keyamo said he decided to help push the new song by bringing out Eedris’ 2018 receipts so that jagajaga can be reloaded properly😝

SEE KEYAMO’S TWITTER RESPONSE
1.) Eedris Abdulkareem just released a song, ‘jagajaga reloaded’, where he waxed the following lyrics, “where Festus Keyamo sef? He don dey chop with cabal o”. I laughed out so loud and even danced to the rhythm too. But there’s a small story behind this poor attempt at blackmail
2.) In 2018, when I was named the Director of Strategic Communications for Buhari Campaign Organisation Eedris waxed a song in support of Buhari & wanted to join us, albeit for a fee. He then made desperate efforts to see me through text messages from his phone no. 07019691772👇
3.) When I finally met with him, I listened to the songs, but told him I had no budget for such or any for that matter. I explained that my job was voluntary. It was the same thing I told so many other so-called activists-by-day-and-hustlers-at-night who secretly approached me
4.) He then switched to the fact that he wanted a loan to pay for his hotel bills to the tune of N1.3 m & to cater for his ‘sick mum’. That was already running into more than N3m. However, one govt functionary called me to say he told him another story that his child was sick
5.) He begged me to introduce him to Malami (AGF), Amaechi & the SGF and to paint a good ‘PR’ for him. He pledged that he was with us in the campaign with his whole ‘body and soul’. But at this point, I knew he was a desperate hustler who could embarrass me, so I ghosted him 👇👇
6.) Shortly after this episode when he could not penetrate the system to get the money he so desperately wanted, he then endorsed Atiku and called Buhari a ‘fraudster’. See one of the links here… m.guardian.ng/life/eedris-ab…. But we decided to ignore his weak voice of opposition
7.) After our victory, he went berserk and joined every protests against the same Buhari whom he wanted to serve with his whole ‘body and soul’, but needed money to do so. He has been mentioning my name specifically at occasions as if I am the cause of all his troubles in life
8.) Now, the latest is the ‘jagajaga reloaded’ that he has waxed to vent his frustrations at not getting into the system. His reference to me as ‘chopping’ reminds me of the gaffe of then Minister Sunday Afolabi who infamously said Bola Ige was invited to Govt to ‘come and chop’!
9.) I wish to assure Eedris and any who think being in Govt is tantamount to ‘chopping’, that for some of us (I can’t speak for others) it is just an honour to serve our country and an attempt to move from armchair criticism to a real participant in order to make a difference.
10.) Finally, we can all sit back and enjoy the ‘jagajaga reloaded’. One of the objectives of the song is to call me out since I ghosted him for attempted extortion – he has now succeeded. Another objective is to help promote the song by my reaction – that he has also achieved!
