Doyin Okupe, a former aide to ex-president Goodluck Jonathan, has dropped some surprising revelations about the 2015 general election even as he advised Nigerians to move on and forget the past.

Okupe on 2015 elections
Doyin Okupe says Nigerians should get over regrets of 2015 elections
In a statement released on his official Facebook account on Tuesday, December 20, Okupe hinted that he and his associates in the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) may have made statements that were untrue during the elections in the bid to get returned to office.

He noted masking lies as truth was not uncommon in the political arena as was seen in the US elections that threw up Donald Trump as the incoming president of the most powerful country in the world.


Okupe also wondered why Nigerians are failing to accept the reality that the elections are over and keep being hateful instead of helping Nigeria to move forward.

He said:

Many Nigerians amaze me the way they go on and on about issues relating to the campaigns before the last elections.
One Ekewa Olu published a piece I wrote in December 3014 in the heat of the electioneering campaigns, pertaining to which past head of state built our refineries. The relevance of that piece yo the Nigerian situation now is extremely difficult to fathom.
Obviously it was intended for mischief.
Truth is, as was also evident in the last presidential elections in the US, candidates SNF their aides and surrogates say things , either to promote their principals or bring down his opponents.

Once elections are over, they are simply over. The nation comes together and move on.
Not in Nigeria. Many political naiveties, still bury their heads in the heaps of the whole gamut of the campaign trash, with still so much passion and hate.
We have had an election in this country, and as they say all is fair in love and war. The elections have been over for nearly 2years now. People should go back to their jobs or find something else to do till 2019. As for me its over, I am done. Period.
His statement has however enraged some of his Nigerian followers on social media who deemed his submission callous.

A Facebook user Ehi E Ekhator hit back:


Mr, Doyin Okupe permit me to ask you this question without disregard intended. You are actually saying you said many things before election that weren't true and Nigerians should grow up and move on?
I am only asking because of trust and confidence which are very important to the people who have over the years, felt being lied to.
Okupe replied:

Pls Mr man, politicians are not priests. I Don’t mean politicians lie, but something's are just said for electioneering purposes. Did trump not say he will jail Hilary if he wins. Is he talking about that now,? That's politics. Leave politics for politicians and face yr biz
Recall that the contest between Jonathan and President Muhammadu Buhari at the 2015 election was a tough competition that was filled with constant accusations and counter accusations between the then ruling party PDP and the opposition at the time APC.

A leading controversy in the campaigns was the President Muhammadu Buhari certificate saga.

no penalty for this?

Buhari changing people's tone since 1900

The real government of lies . . .

Hmmm

This are the same people, voters kill themselves on during elections and abuse themselves on nairaland. they take Nigerians as puns and play chess with them. They don't Have the interest of the citizen at heart but just what they will benefit .
With this crop of politicians hardly can Nigeria really move forward.

so basically this is what Mr. Okupe is saying: Its okay for me to lie because they do it in America too. But, Mr. Okupe lying is wrong even if they do it in America too.

Mr Doyin Okupe : but why?

Don't take politics too far. It's not a do or die affair.

Hmm you see ur life!indomie brain

I have a deep and profound mistrust of all politicians.

That moment when defection is on your mind but you don't want to reveal it yet

Pa Doyin, I totally understand

Why is he telling us

We are used to lies and I know you are even lieing right now but continue

Doyin Okupe is actaually talking about flattheads, flat chest beaters yeeebos from yeastern side of Nigeria who have refused to move on from the thourough beaten ineffectual buffon and PDP took in the hands of Buhari and APC. All these deranged yeeebos have been doing is to show up at different embassies and diplomatic missions abroad with the cardboards showing lies like "GENOCIDE", "ETHNIC CLEANSING IN NIGERIA", "BUHARI IS KILLING IGBOS IN BIAFRA", "BIAFRALAND BEING ATTACKED BY ISLAMIIST GOVERNMENT OF NIGERIA", "6000 BIAFRNS KILLED AND BURIED SECRETLY"....



Igbos can only lie but truth will always prevail. That is why their lies have not been taken serious so far anywhere in the world. Run to ICJ from now till 2090, nothing will happen.

THE WHOLE WORLD HAS REALIZED THAT YEEBOS ARE LIARS WITH THE WAY THEY HAVE BEEN LYING ALL OVER THE WORLD WITH NO PRROF OF WHAT THEY'VE ACCUSED NIGERIAN GOVERNMENT OF DOING. MIND YOU, I HATE NIGERIAN GOVERNMENT BUT THE LIES YEEEBOS ARE SPREADING IS SOMETHING ELSE.

Ambassadors in Nigeria are bursting your lies and telling the government in western world that yeeebos are just lying.

Now officially lier

Okupe!
