It is no longer news that Dr. Doyin Okupe’s former name expired on the 1st of January, 2014 after he staked his name in a bet with APC that, should they exist beyond 2014 that he would no longer bear the name given to him by his parent. Considering the fact that the time has elapsed and APC survived contrary to his expectations, we expect him to tell us what his name should now be.
As is common in various cultures in Nigeria, the 8th day is usually the day for naming ceremony, today being the 8th day of January is an appropriate day for the naming.
I would therefore implore well meaning Nigerians to quickly suggest a name for him so that he can concentrate his energies on his official duties (Luckily for him, he did not stake his job).
Please, the name has to be an appropriate and a befitting name.

If APC Survives One Year, Don’t Call Me Okupe, Presidential Aide

The Senior Special Assistant to President Goodluck Jonathan on Public
Affairs, Dr. Doyin Okupe, on Tuesday described the merger of opposition
political parties on the platform of the All Progressives Congress (APC) as a
weak association that would crumble and disappear by 2014, one year before
the next general election.
So confident is he of this that during a courtesy visit to THISDAY corporate
offices in Lagos yesterday, he put his father’s name on the line.
“If they don’t crumble and disappear by 2014, don’t call me Okupe,” he
bragged.  
Okupe’s visit to THISDAY seemed to have been a public relations stunt that
was carefully arranged either when the journalists went to lunch, or after
Okupe had gagged them, because no professional asked him any questions
following what seemed like a one-sided lecture.
The self-described “attack lion” of President Goodluck Jonathan dismissed
the view that the merger would rout the ruling Peoples Democratic Party
(PDP) in the next election, calling the forces behind it unserious people that
are incapable of causing a major upset in national politics.
“Bola Ahmed Tinubu and Maj-Gen. Mohammadu Buhari are not serious-
minded people; they are going round like people dancing in a market place,”
he said, defiantly. “I expect that when you post an aggregate of people of
that calibre who want to run government, by now they must have a policy
statement on power, agriculture and employment and not just talking about
PDP leaving.
"Is it by mouth that they will run the nation? These are not serious-minded
people. Can someone get your vote by using word of mouth that PDP should
leave without a policy?”
Okupe was hinging his political prediction on the projection that the
president's joker, which is stable electricity, is attained by 2014, the
opposition would be punctured and rendered ineffective.
Specifically dismissing Tinubu, he held that the ACN chieftain has ridden
roughshod over the South-west, but that Nigeria is bigger than that.
“This is their first time out in national politics; alright, and let me give you
some bad news: the relevance that ACN has in Nigerian politics is that they
are a Yoruba party. That is what makes them relevant in politics and by
dropping that toga, the party is dead.

Mumuracious Okupe

Doyin Oku-gbe.
