Dr. Doyin Okupe, the Senior Special Assistant, to President Goodluck Jonathan on Public Affairs easily picked the gold medal for the most trending story today.
Okupe in a Facebook post said that he stands by his words that the president-elect, Muhammadu Buhari, is not an electable leader. He also insisted that Buhari did not have a school certificate, forgetting that the Nigerian constitution only speaks about an equivalent, assuming that his baseless accusation was adopted by the jury.
Here is the full post by the medical doctor, turned media spokesman, who once said he should be called a Bastard if Buhari was elected by Nigerians:
“These are very interesting times in our nation. An election has come and gone. A victor has emerged and the loser has conceded.
“Yet some of our folks are behaving as if we have just gone through a war between two hostile nations. The APC agents all over the place are unrelenting in their tirades of abuses, insults and lies against President Goodluck Jonathan, his aides and supporters.
“It is shameful that we are still saddled with denying falsehood and fabrications in the social media and even by hitherto highly respected newspapers.
“Missing $20bn found in an account in Zenith. PGEJ returns tons of dollars to federation accounts. N2tn spent on elections by PGEJ. Okupe says Chibok girls will not be found. How many lies, deliberate falsehood and evil propaganda, outright curses and attacks must we suffer just because we lost an election in which we were never disgraced?
“Buhari polled 15m (56 per cent) while Jonathan scored 12m (46per cent). Those who talk to us disparagingly should respect the sentiments of the 12m Nigerians who voted for Jonathan.
“Of course, we have our reservations about the results but we will pass on that for now. We have lost this election but this is not and can never be a crime. We are all Nigerians and having lost does not make us less. We should be allowed to bow out peacefully and constitutionally on the 29th of May.
“Yes, I said Buhari was not electable. I also said his victory will not happen. I said and I still insist that Buhari has no WASC certificate. I said a lot of things to promote my candidate and many things to put his opponent down.
“I have no regrets for any of the statements I made. Lai Mohammed said worse. This is the nature of politics. For anyone who cares to listen. We will be back, period.”
