Minister of State for Labour, Festus Keyamo’s insistence on holding on to his confrontation with the National Assembly is unnecessary, politically immature and unhelpful to the Buhari regime.

It rubs mud on the face of the Minister of Labour, Chris Ngige, indicates that the ministry has no capacity for coherence and puts more questions on the ability of members of this regime to agree on a common good and pursue the same without distraction. In addition, it gives Keyamo away as yet unable to distinguish between his old posturing as a rights activist and the high office of minister of the Federal Republic.

If you recall the perpetual confrontations between the regime and the 8th National Assembly and repeated claims by functionaries of the first tranche of the ongoing Buhari era, you will appreciate the importance of having a peaceful executive/legislative environment.

It is possible that Ngige was massaging the egos of the legislators for a variety of reasons-two of which I will try to be hazard here. One, he was one of them and possibly knows the therapeutic import of such public adulation and submission, himself a man of patently big selfdom.Two, there is a chance that Ngige saw true value in the apology and the impact it could have on the execution of the regime’s public works intervention in the 774 local government councils of the federation.

Whatever may have inspired that apology however, Keyamo, even if he did not agree with Ngige, erred by giving an alternative view immediately after the meeting. Why? That disavowal sends the signal that this very important ministry cannot speak as one! It further accentuates public perception that theBuhari regime does not have its house in order and diminishes public trust.
