Doyin Okupe who served as advisor to former president Goodluck Jonathan has formally joined the Accord Party a few weeks after he dumped the Peoples Democratic Party.

Okupe made this known on Tuesday, July 18 via his Facebook page.

This is coming about a week the Supreme Court gave its judgement on the PDP recognising Ahmed Makarfi as the chairman of the party and kicking out Senator Ali Modu Sherriff.

In his statement, Okupe noted that he wasn’t interested in winning anything as a politician but to breed new set of politicians for the development of the country.
Read his statement below:

[b]
Following various consultations with political associates, family and friends I have decided to formally join the ACCORD Party. My decision is based on deep reflection on who I am and what I want from politics.

To me politics does not begin and end with winning or losing elections. It's not about big or small parties either. It's also beyond personal relationships or endearing associations or friendships.

There exists in our communities several platforms on which such affiliations and sentiments can be sufficiently gratified. To me, Politics is about, Service to the people, policies and ideologies that will serve the best interests of the greater
majority of the society, Forthrightness and accountability, Honour and Integrity.

I am not desperate to be anything anymore. But I am desperate to find and work with other Nigerians especially our young and vibrant upcoming politicians, to establish a political incubator to breed a new generation of leaders who will do things right, maintain high ethical standards and abhor greed, avarice, selfishness and impunity.


Most of our national parties presently and in the past were put together with a false sense of national spread but majorly, irrespective of how they came to power, end up being inequitable and manifestly exists to serve the interests of a
minority few and/or that of a tiny section of the country.

I want to belong to a political party that will be able to publicly state its position on troubling national issues like, requests for self determination by a section of the country, resource control, federalism and Restructuring, Religious intolerance, atrocities of Fulani Herdsman, unequal standards in national university admission policy, and many more.


Any political party that does not have an openly stated position or Stand on these issues is a mere association of elites coming together only to feather their own nests or at best a deceptive political contraption put together by a few to seize power for a few and for the benefit of a few. [/b]

An official date of declaration by me and my numerous supporters in Ogun state will be announced shortly.

This idomie brain is smart, nice decision Sir.

Politics is not about winning or losing Election .. Nurture the party to become a strong and popular party, then become their presidential candidate for 2019... Smart Okupe

Good decision I must say. Unlike some old thieves who wud jump from PDP to APC so that their sins will be swept away with the broom.

He should be crying somewhere with the latest supreme court judgment. All of them na the same sha.

Better for him
.the truth is pdp is dead

I know APC is not living upto expectations

But pdp is and wikk never be an option

We do forget easily and carry on like it never happened, I think it is GOOD TO REFRESH our MEMORIES.
1. I acted based on Jonathan's instruction - Dasuki
2. I didn't give order - Jonathan
3. I collected 350M from Dasuki for consultation - Iyorchia Ayu
4. I only collected $30,000 from Dasuki not N100m - Bode George
5. I got N4.6b from Dasuki for spiritual purposes - Bafarawa
6. I got N650M from Dasuki for my Abuja burnt office - Thisday
Obaigbena.
7. I got N2.1b from Dasuki for publicity - Dokpesi
8. I got another N100m from Yuguda he didn't tell me from where -
Bafarawa.
9. I gave N100m each to Odili, Jim Nwobodo Bode George and
others-Yuguda.
10. The president asked me to change N10B to foreign currency for
PDP delegates - Dasuki
11. My boss asked me to get $11M from the CBN - Dasuki's account
officer.
12. I got order from above to pay Tompolo N13B for Maritime
university land. - Nimasa DG.
13. 950m was shared in my house -- Shekarau
With all these lootings gand many more revealed, some people are still shouting no sign of change yet, they even say it's political persecution.
But I believe, it is the right thing to do.
If you believe too, send this to other people to garner more support for the fight against corruption and looting in our nation. There must be consequences for such crimes otherwise Nigeria will not develop.
