I have no regrets for abusing Buhari – Doyin Okupe

The Senior Special Assistant to the President on Public Affairs, Doyin Okupe, on Monday said he has no regrets for attacking President-Elect, Muhammadu Buhari, during the electioneering period. 

In a statement posted on his Facebook page, Mr. Okupe said he would continue to stand by his action during the period because he did so to promote his principal, President Goodluck Jonathan and put down his challenger, Mr. Buhari.

Read Mr. Okupe’s full statement below.
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.
APC agents all over the place are unrelenting in their tirades of abuses, insults and lies against President Jonathan, his aides and supporters.
It is shameful that we are still saddled with denying falsehood and fabrications in the social media and even hitherto highly respected newspapers.
– Missing $20b found in an account in Zenith
– President Jonathan returns tons of dollars to federation accounts.
– N2trillion spent on elections by President Jonathan.
– 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%) while Jonathan scored 12m (46%). Those who talk to us disparagingly should respect the sentiments of the 12 million 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 haven 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 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 any one who cares to listen. We will be back.  Period.

  1. Please, stop carrying news from disgruntled fourth class citizens of this great nation, this people are not qualified for the title of elders in our land. They are not nation builders but destroyers, they don not the love of this country at heart, they seek to destroy it with the words of their mouth through confusion causing unnecessary evil misleading and provoking others into riot thereby causing untimely death to people So sad while some of us are involved in praying and fasting for peace of prosperity in the land the so called self imposed elders are busy causing confusion and looting national treasury. Let me pause here, their time and game is up, if they do not repent on time and ask God forgiveness they would live to tell their history.
