Former President Olusegun Obasanjo’s Special Adviser on Media and Publicity, Dr. Doyin Okupe, has described the presidential candidate of Congress for Progressive Change (CPC), Gen. Muhammed Buhari, as a national security risk.

In an interview with Sunday Sun, the medical doctor and politician also criticised Ogun State Governor, Gbenga Daniel, for fraternizing with the Peoples Party of Nigeria (PPN), describing him as a tenant and sojourner in the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP).

He said Buhari’s rallies were more like a religious movement rather than a conventional political campaign forum, expressing fear that his supporters may not accept defeat if they lose in the forthcoming election.
Okupe argued that the CPC presidential candidate’s rallies, particularly in the North, was not a measure of his popularity as there was nothing unique Buhari is selling except that he had been made to represent the symbol of Islamic fundamentalism.



“This is purely a religious thing. If you look at the crowd that attend Buhari’s rallies, you will not find very eminent people, you will not find people of the middle class, but what you find is a lot of young people, most of who are not gainfully employed.

“What you see in the North is that of a personality like Pastor Adeboye going on a revival. What you are seeing in Buhari’s campaigns is not a political movement, but a religious revival and that is unfortunate, really. “That worries me because when people turn out like that and they are not political, when their passion is not political but religious, it is difficult for them to accept defeat.
“When they lose, they cannot understand it, you cannot explain it to them. That is why I said sometime ago that Buhari is a cause for national security concern especially post-election,” Okupe said.

The saddest part is that christian BB supporters that these violent CPC guys come across would not be spared in their carnage!! The onus now is on Buhari and Bakare to come out and call for an end to the violence!!
