Amaechi: Okupe Is President Jonathan’s Worst Enemy by abu12: 11:01pm On Aug 18, 2013
By David Iyofor
Again, on Saturday August, 18, 2013, Presidential Assistant on Public Affairs Dr. Doyin Okupe on a radio programme, continued his grossly irresponsible, repugnant and contemptuous, albeit, feckless mission of denigrating and disparaging the person and office of the Governor of Rivers State and the Chairman of the Nigerian Governors’ Forum(NGF), Chibuike Rotimi Amaechi.

In the past few weeks, we elected to ignore scurrilous statements from Okupe, as we do not wish to, wittingly or unwittingly, avail him with a sparring partner as he strives, though fecklessly yet again, to elevate his act from anattack puppyto anattack dogMoreover, like most Nigerians, we believe that Okupe is an irrelevant in the political equation that no serious-minded person should take seriously. Over time, his comments and statements are akin to some sort of notice-me monkey dance in front of his boss and his band of cheerleaders.

However, it has become pertinent to alert/notify the populace and Mr. President that the likes of Okupe represent the very worst of the President Goodluck Jonathan administration. With an aide and adviser like Okupe, President Jonathan certainly does not need any enemies. Indeed, Okupe is more than a handful. Pray, what kind of advice will an aide/adviser like Okupe give to Mr President? The earlier Mr President purged the Presidency of characters like Okupe, the better for us all.

Okupe sank to a new low when he falsely and indecorously claimed that Governor Amaechi used the police to harass, intimidate and punish people unjustly and could not provide one instance or any evidence to back up his claims. He bragged about some phantom text messages from “ordinary people” whose families have suffered grave injustice in the hands of Amaechi and, yet again, did not tell usthe content and senders of the text messages. What does Okupe take Nigerians for? The phantom text messages exist only in the devious mind of Doyin Okupe.
The Presidential spokesman then sank even deeper as he condescendingly descended to become the Chief Advocate and Defender-in-Chief of the Commissioner of Police in RiversState, Mbu Joseph Mbu, who the National Assembly has resolved categorically should be removed from Rivers State.

Okupe’s warped argument is that the call for the redeployment of Mbu from Rivers State by the State government is because Mbu has refused to be a ‘tool in the hands of Amaechi’. Pray Okupe, if that is the case and Mbu is such ‘a professional with diginity’, why then did the House of Representatives and the Senate(who sent a committee to Rivers State to investigatethe issues) passed two separate resolutions calling for the immediate removal of Mbu from Rivers State? If Okupe’s trend ofagberologic isanything to go by, his likely response would be that it’s because Mbu refused to be a tool in thehands of the National Assembly!

With comments like that coming from a presidential aide and spokesman, Nigerians now have a better insight into why Mbu is still in Rivers State and continues to act with impunity, in spite of the call by eminent Nigerians and the resolution of the National Assembly that Mbu should go. What interests does Mbu serve for Okupe and his co-travellers that they are bent on keeping Mbu in Rivers State?

Let us remind Okupe and his co-travellers that it took a lot of efforts, resources and the strong political will and determination of Governor Amaechi to restore peace, security and order toRivers State from the dark days of pre- October2007. To destroy all that in the name of playingpolitics portends grave danger for our polity and will do no one, more especially, the Presidency no good. No responsible government plays politics with the lives of its people

It is certainly rude, uncharitable, ill-mannered and hypocritical for Okupe to falsely and superciliously allege that Amaechi is a ‘willing tool’ to any person or group against President Jonathan. Where was Doyin Okupe when Governor Amaechi led Rivers electorates to overwhelming give President Jonathan over two million votes, the highest by any State in the last presidential election?

For the likes of Okupe and his fellow travellers in the Presidency and Abuja, Governor Amaechionly became ‘willing tool to the opposition’ when he openly refused to cede any part and oil wells of Rivers State to a neighbouring State, and stood firmly and resolutely to defendand fight for the rights of Rivers people, which he was elected to do, anyway. For the likes of Okupe and his ilk in the Presidency and Abuja, Governor Amaechi only became ‘willing tool to the opposition’ when he, like most other governors,insisted on governors and governors alone, to determine who would be their chairman, the Governors’ Forum Chairman and not some hawks in the Presidency. Governor Amaechi's only ‘sin’, to the Okupes in the Presidency, is his penchant for seeking justice and fairness for all, and his ability to speak his mind and say the truth at all times. This, obviously, is notin conformity with the kind of politics Okupe knows and understands.

It continues to baffle us, like most Nigerians, that small minds like Okupe in a democracy, still see holding a different opinion from the Presidency on any issue as anti-Jonathan and fighting Mr. President - a taboo and sacrilege. And any person perceived to be thinking differently must be crucified, politically and otherwise.

It is indeed a sad commentary on our nation’s democracy and unity that a Presidential aide/spokesman would see nothing wrong and would cavalierly dismiss the harassment, stoning and attack on eminent and esteemed visiting governors from the Northern States to their colleague and chairman, Governor Amaechi in Rivers State by a mob, a group floated, financed and promoted by a serving minister in the Presidency. This tells a lot aboutthe character of Doyin Okupe.

We admonish Okupe that his persistent intemperate, obnoxious and opprobrious invectives and outbursts against Governor
Amaechi and other Peoples Democratic Party(PDP) Governors cannot and will not help his boss in any way. At best, it may provide some kind of bizarre fleeting entertainment for his(Okupe’s) cheerleaders. Like he said, if Mr. President decides to seek for re-election, it is the same governors that the Presidency will need and call upon to deliver the votes from their various States to the President.

Pray, how will Okupe’s uncouth, relentless and constant tirades against Governor Amaechi andsome other PDP governors assist his principal now or in 2015? Or help our party, the PDP, in winning elections? Nigerians are more interested in what the PDP controlled Presidency is doing to better their lives, not thepetty, cheap politics of hatred, acrimony and unbridled outbursts of an inconsequential presidential aide who is trying so hard to play to the gallery and earn his pay.

Characters like Okupe are the real enemies of the PDP and Mr. President.The country and Mr. President can certainly do without his infantile vituperations, which has become a constant distraction. Okupe represents everything a presidential aide/spokesman should not be.

I'm glad it is a generally accepted fact that Okupe is a Mega nuisance. His presence in the presidency just shows the quality of elements who make crucial decisions that affect Nigeria everyday, they are blockheads. No wonder the country is not moving forward.
These people just believe anybody that criticizes the FG is an enemy of GEJ therefore they have a right to bash at the personality. Only blockheads & numbskulls think like that.
What a grand disaster it will be to have GEJ and Okupe there for another 4 yrs
SOLUTION: Let's gv APC a chance in 2015

GEJ is my man!! he just refused to engage Amaechi, rather his aid keep hammering him.

All that talk about giving the president 2million vote in 2011 election is bullshit. Amaechi vote is only 1 period. River people will vote for GEJ even if it is Tambuwal that is their governor. Facts

[b]Without sentiments, Okupe was right.

-To know if Amaech used the police against others in the state, Ask the ACN leadership in the state.

-Does Amachi Really want to know the source of the text message? he must be joking.. Go ask the Leadership newspaper journalist the source of the presidential memo they published

- Amaechi mobilized support for the president when the going was good. Hes shouldn't forget that others did too.

-Is Amaechi a willing tool? when you look at all the governors from that region including Adams Oshomole from an Opposition party, You'll know that Amaechi is being used because he is a willing tool. Maybe when we see Akpabio and Babangida Aliu on the same page politically, the we can reconsider.

-Does Amaechi want peace? I think the answer is NO.

- Does the maxim " the enemy of my enemy is my friend" relate with Amaechi's relationship with the president? Yes it does.

- The only reason why some disgruntled politicians are interested in Amaechi, is because he seem to be against the president.
