The Minister of State for Labour and Employment, Festus Keyamo, appears to have taken a swipe at former aviation minister, Femi Fani-Kayode, over his verbal attack on a journalist at a recent press conference in Calabar, Cross River State.
Keyamo shared the cryptic post that seemed to be directed at Fani-Kayode via Twitter on Wednesday.
The minister said: “Narcissistic Personality Disorder is a mental health disease that involves a pattern of self-centered, arrogant thinking and behavior and a lack of empathy and consideration for other people. The affected persons are often cocky, manipulative, selfish, patronizing and demanding.”

Keyamo’s tweet came amid heavy criticisms trailing a viral video where Fani-Kayode was seen insulting one Charles Eyo of Daily Trust newspapers.
The reporter was said to have asked the ex-minister who “bankrolled” his tour of projects in some states during the press conference.
But responding, Fani-Kayode called the journalist “stupid” and threatened to report him to the publisher of the newspaper he works with.
The ex-minister had said: “I could see from your face before you got here how stupid you are. Don’t ever talk to me like that. You have a very small mind and don’t judge me by your own standards.
“I have been in politics since 1990 and I am not one of those politicians you think would just come… I’ve been locked up how many times by this government, [I have] suffered. I have been prosecuted unlike most politicians you follow for brown envelopes. I spend, I don’t take [money], and I’m not a poor man and would never be.”
I think Keyamo’s interest centered principally on the politics of the journalist question tagged ” who bankrolled Fani tour of projects in some States? why must that question be asked? What kind of explanation Eyo wanted? Keyamo is even worse in the Narcissitics Personality Disorder than Femi Fani-Kayode
