Senior Advocate of Nigeria and Minister of State for Labour and Employment, Festus Keyamo, has bragged about nurturing some of the country’s artistes, who are on top of their careers now.
Keyamo made the claim while answering questions on Arise TV on Monday, August 8, where he said he once represented some of the prominent musicians, actors and comedians making waves in the world of entertainment today.
He went on to mention names such as Burna Boy, Wizkid, P-square, Chidinma, and Mr. Macaroni, as some of the entertainment industry’s best, who benefitted from his benevolence in the past.

He also said he was a lawyer to some of them at some point in their careers and that he ensured one in particular finished schooling, when he faced possible expulsion from his academic institution
Keyamo said, “As a Senior Advocate of Nigeria (SAN) and an active practitioner, I represented some of the best musicians in Nigeria and some of the best comedians in Nigeria.
“Wizkid, Burna Boy, P-square, Chidinma; I’m calling names…I’ve been their lawyer, I nurtured them and I’m proud of what they have become.
“Mr. Macaroni, I saw him through school. He was to be expelled.”
Keyamo said all these in response to some of the assertions made by the recently appointed spokesman of Atiku Abubakar’s campaign organisation, Dino Melaye.
