That President Goodluck Jonathan lost the presidential
elections is no more news. What is news is that some of
his aides who paraded themselves in the public sphere
like untouchables, contributed to the political down-fall
of their principal.
Naij.com has compiled this list of Jonathan’s aides who
were partly responsible for his loss. Read below:

1. Dr. Doyin Okupe: The administration’s attack dog was
a disaster. His contributions to Jonathan’s loss will take
a whole book to write down. He courted many enemies
for the president rather than friends. Okupe’s
temperament and inability to soak in criticisms were his
greatest undoing. President Jonathan would have long
wielded the big stick on the Ogun State born medical
practitioner turned politician. His childish rants on
twitter, uncivilised arguements with opposition leaders
on television and insult-filled press statements were a
public relations disaster for President Jonathan.

2. Professor Ahmed Rufai Alkali: How do you employ a
political liability as your political adviser? That was the
question on the lips of political observers after Prof.
Alkali resumed office as the political adviser to Jonathan
some years back. Alkali has never won an election in his
political life. He has only had appointments from
government and has relied heavily on propaganda in
staying on course in the political sphere. Alkali no doubt
contributed to the failure of Jonathan at the polls
because he wasn’t effective in his role, he lacks the
political sagacity to mobilise people and failed woefully
to galvanise support for the president.

3. Col. Sambo Dasuki (rtd): Dasuki is one aide anyone
should not pray to have. As the National Security
Adviser, he was a a ticking time bomb. As an aide to the
president, he was more of a curse than a blessing. A
rabble rouser, the Sokoto-born prince did more harm to
Jonathan’s campaign than good. His careless
statements, security blunders and silence on major
national issues bordering on security was to say the
least damaging to the president’s image.

4. Kingsley Kuku: Kuku who started on a good note in
his position, was at some point carried away. He joined
the infamous gang of Jonathan’s political ‘mercenaries’
whose brief seemed to be “Defend the president at all
cost whether right or wrong”. His role in the Ekiti
elections also dented his soaring image and that of his
boss. He also went on a talking spree that made him goof
severally while trying to justify the government’s failures.
He was criss-crossing round the world telling all that
cares that President Jonathan was the best thing to
happen to Nigeria while the gale of unmitigated disasters
at home continued unabated. Kuku is one man the
president should have called to order long before he lost
it completely.

5. Reno Omokri: Nigeria’s social media community will
never forget Pastor Reno Omokri. From the Wendell
Simillin saga to his retweet or favourite series to his
dramatic demotion towards the end of the Jonathan’s
administration, Omokri was a combination of
cluelessness and incompetence. Why he left the pulpit for
politics is not yet clear, but Reno should have stayed
back. His contributions to Jonathan’s loss are
enormous, gigiantic and un-quantifiable. He turned a
vibrant youth population in the new media against the
president through his unnecessary tweets and black
propaganda which backfired at the end.

Meanwhile, the leadership of the Peoples Democratic
Party (PDP) is pushing for disciplinary measures against
Femi Fani-Kayode, for the scathing remarks he made
about the party’s leadership .
