Goodluck Jonathan Is Like Jesus Christ-doyin Okupe by ylordy(m): 6:11pm On Dec 15, 2014
“People do not understand the burden this
president is bearing. He’s like Jesus Christ. He’s
bearing the burden of everybody,” Okupe said
while commenting on the state of the nation on
Sunrise Daily.
According to him, the efforts of the government
in fighting the Boko Haram insurgency as well as
in power were being hindered by external factors,
even as the nation gears up for the 2015
elections, which Okupe said would be impossible
for Jonathan to lose.

“I can’t see GEJ losing this election; It’s not
possible.”
On managing serious challenges in Nigeria and
also campaigning for a second term in
government, Okupe noted that “the beauty of
executive is being able to multitask,” which he
said was one quality the President had.
However, there have been complaints concerning
two major issues – security and power.
On electricity, Okupe explained that Nigeria has
been “under-powered” for many years, noting
that in Ikeja, Lagos State, the electrical
infrastructure on ground is about 35 years old.
He admitted that “power is a problem”, which
was why the government was working to
improve generation and distribution, through the
power reform.
He also noted that the equipment were
expensive which had caused the private owners
to borrow billions of dollars. “We are not there
yet but we are certainly on an irreversible road to
better power supply,” he further insisted.
Asked why the government did not first work on
changing equipment before increasing generation,
which also costs money, Okupe said that there
was a limit the government could do as power
was controlled 100% by the private sector.
“In the power situation, we are not there yet. We
are definitely on a road that cannot change,” he
emphasised, hinting that the government is
working on huge dam projects to allow the
private owners work effectively on distribution.
He also claimed that government efforts were
being sabotaged by politicians who sponsor
vandals to attack gas pipelines.
“We noted that there were 10 NIPP projects
which were performing below 50 per cent”, he
disclosed, alleging that some persons were
making sure they underperformed so as to make
the government appear incompetent.
He, however, added that the rate of sabotage
had reduced in the past year.
On the state of security in Nigeria’s North East
region, Okupe commended the government’s
efforts, noting that all aspects of the war against
terror, including funding, administration were
being worked upon.
“Today, the Nigerian Army is in total and perfect
control,” of North East, he added.
On the recent comments made by Governor of
Borno State, Okupe said the governor “never fails
to amaze me”, adding that majority of problems
of insurgency was situated in his state but he
was travelling to Lagos, London and other
nations, to discuss insurgency but failed to meet
the President on the matter.
Okupe argued that Boko Haram was a
“multinational, international insurgency
arrangement in Nigeria” as the group had links
with ISIS, Al Qaeda, and other international
terrorist groups.
He also said he did not know about the identity
of the sponsors as he was not working with
security.
He also claimed that there were huge political
considerations in the fight against Boko Haram,
making an example of General Buhari, who
Okupe said had polled over 12 million votes in
the North in the last election.
Okupe alleged that Buhari had said any attack on
Boko Haram was an attack on the North and
that Buhari’s recent condemnation of Boko
Haram was as a result of his fourth bid to
become Nigeria’s president.

Speaking about the 219 schoolgirls in Boko
Haram captivity, Okupe said “the issue of Chibok
girls was (an) emotion(al) tragedy but it is a
tragedy that we must bear with fortitude,” noting
that issues such as rape, murder and other
atrocities were common in war.
“Chibok girls are a major thorn in the flesh of the
administration,” he explained, stating that “If it
was possible to get them yesterday I know that
this government would have done it”.
He also called for caution in the rescue mission,
noting that “any mistake will lead to their death”
and that there’s no time limit for returning the
girls alive.
