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

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

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.

"They have just formed an abyss; a formless abyss that the Yoruba cannot key into. The Yoruba have always been members of a regional organisation – Action Group (AG), Unity Party of Nigeria (UPN), etc. And in any case, what are the electoral credentials of ACN? How many states have they won that they are boasting?”


In a frontal assault that suggested that the PDP is wary of the possibilities open to the opposition, Okupe described the APC as a party that is consistently unable to produce a presidential candidate from within its rank and file, saying that for the 2015 election, they are planning to recruit the Speaer of the House, Tambuwal.

“What kind of political party is that and you are taking them seriously. It is a politically defective and weak organisation, and by coming to the national stage, the wind is going to blow them open. If they don’t crumble and disappear by 2014, don’t call me Okupe,” he said.

With reference to the power reform programme, he said that the problem with the National Integrated Power Projects (NIPPs) was the amount of money that was designated for it, stating that the money was not the type entrepreneurs in the country could aggregate.

“When Jonathan came, five major problems bedevilled the power sector,” he said. “One, there was low generation capacity. Two, was that the NIPPs, which required so much money, were abandoned. Three, even if they were working, they were located in places that were impossible for gas availability. Four, there was very poor transmission capacity and five, the indecisiveness involved in the privatisation exercise.

He said that within two years, the Jonathan administration solved four of those five problems. “The NIPPs – all of them are about 95 per cent complete and there is enough monitoring to ensure that this is done.”
He pointed out the outstanding challenge was transmission capacity which is currently being addressed by the federal government.

Okupe, who also sought partnership with the media, admitted that the Jonathan administration needed help to survive.
“That is the truth. I am not hiding it. There is no government that has been more assaulted in this country. I have come to see if we can build a platform to help the country and this government.

I am not saying that you should compromise your positions; I am just saying that you should give us the chance to clarify anything that you need to clarify.”

Okupe did not say anything about the corruption by which the PDP has grounded the country, and of which most of the key officials of both the government and the party are known to be guilty, or how they intend to persuade Nigerians in 2015 to allow them to continue.

Continuity for Lagos

Eko oni baje o

Ambode is ready

I stopped reading the moment I saw Femi Fani Kayode

Okwori12:
Am beginning to wonder if TINUBU is the owner of lagos.. If it is political them I don't know, but from the list I saw today, most Lagos state government property are now own by TINUBU. Report says that TINUBU own 75% of lagos state properties.

It is political. The word "allegedly" was used in that documentary throughout. Don't let PDP deceive you.

I have seen my princess

*Remembers M.I. One Naira *

Hey princess
I’m so into you
Cause u see past what my revenue is
And love me for me, clever you
Leave you that is something I will never do

babestella:


Are you now calling GEJ an IGBO man? I hope not. Now the fact remains that God wanted the presidency to go to the minority for reasons best known to HIm alone and we must appreciate and come to terms with that fact. Now after GEJ, we go back to the normal political structure which gives power to the north and after 8 years, the most equitable thing to do under the PDP party is to present a core IGBO man as a presidential candidate and thereafter a Yourba man and so on if truly we are in a United country. Then I will ask you, what about the middle belters, the Efiks and other minorities?

That's why I said "Following Nigerian politics"

In saner climes, presidents are chosen on merit.

Chigold101:
GEJ never claimed to be Igbo (never forget this).

Now 3 parties are major contributors to APC. They are (a) ACN (Bola Tinubu) (b) CPC (Buhari) & (c) ANPP (Ogbonnaya Onu, Igbo man). Tell me where Ogbonnaya Onu is in the scheme of what happens in APC today. Prior to APC presidential primary; the only 2 persons we here as party leaders are GMB & Tinubu, we never heard of Onu mentioned.

If Onu who is a founding member of APC is relegated to the background and we all are seeing it, how then do you think that Igbos will trust APC to give us president‘s slot soon?

PDP has given us Senate president, gave us deputy speaker, deputy senate president & SFG. Chances of Igbo man becoming a president in 2027 is higher in PDP than in any other party.

In today‘s APC, what leadership post is Igbos holding?

A worst PDP government is better than the best APC government.

Igbos know those who dont want them to progress.

Following Nigerian politics, you should know better.

If Jonathan completes his second tenure, power won't come to the SS/SE region. The Igbo presidency you're clamoring for by 2027, Jonathan would have used that ticket.

Collynzo9:

I never said the north voted 100% for Buhari, I said he got the Overwhelming majority. Since 2003 when Northern candidates started contesting, they have always won the north massively. Igbos refusal to vote Buhar has nothing to do with tribe as they voted Yaradua against several of their own tribesmen.
As for your Azikiwe crap, it will surprise you to know that many Igbos only know the President as Goodluck Jonathan.
Why are you Yorubas more concerned about Igbo Presidency than Igbos themselves?

Don't be ignorant.
The overwhelming majority of Igbos voted Jonathan. Let's use South east and North West (Buhari's stronghold) for example

SOUTH-EAST
Jonathan 4,985,246 (99.59%)
Buhari 20,335 (0.41%)

NORTH-WEST
Jonathan 3,395,724 (34.48%)
Buhari 6,453,437 (65.52%)

See how I busted your lie?

If the North voted like the igbos in 2011, Jonathan would never have won.

**Note: the scenario is similar in the north east as well. So enough with your lies that the 'overwhelming majority' of the north voted for Buhari

Collynzo9:

In 1999 there was no northern candidate, only OBJ and Falae.
In 2003, they voted Buhari en masse, in 2007 they voted Buhari and Yaradua, both northerners, in 2011 they voted Buhari en masse again, yet you Yorubas accuse Igbos of only voting their son when the fact on ground proves opposite.

You're lying to yourself and you know it. In 2003, the votes were split, the northerners didn't vote only Buhari.

If the north voted the way south east voted in 2011, GEJ wouldn't have won. GEJ got a substantial amount in the north. But how many voted for Buhari in the south east?

Igbos are known for voting their son, isn't that what mama peace said they should?

Jonathan has used the name Azikwe to deceive you guys. Whether GEJ wins or not, power will go to another region after his tenure and it will take a while before it returns to the south east. If Igbos want presidency, they shouldn't be deceived by Azikwe, they should join hands with APC because they have a better chance at presidency earlier than with the PDP

Collynzo9:
Igbos are not known for voting for their son, GEJ is not Igbo. Igbos voted for Obj, Yaradua and GEJ even when Igbos like Ojukwu contested against them.
On the other hand, the north has been voting for northern candidates only since 1999 but none of you hypocritical Yorubas is talking about them not producing a President.
A President coming from your region doesn't turn everyone in your region to dangote overnight so talk about something else.

The north has not been voting northern candidates solely. Remember they voted OBJ. Remember a substantial amount voted GEJ in 2011

Instead of voting out Jonathan so you can get an Ibo president early you won't hear. You want to vote your son.

Goodluck Azikwe Jonathan has deceived you unfortunately.

If other tribes are voting for their son like the Igbos are known for, SE will never produce a president.

My president take style cover his thing

Lead our president not into temptation but lead him to Otuoke

By Enyim Enyim, Onitsha

Former president of the apex Igbo Socio-Cultural Organization, Ohaneze Ndigbo, Dr. Dozie Ikedife has faulted President Goodluck Jonathan’s
government on grounds of marginalization of the South East in the scheme of things.

Speaking exclusively with the Vanguard at Nnewi, Ikedife who was a member of the constitutional conference said the administration has
not really done well to deserve re-election by not only the people of the South East but Nigerians in general.

“Information shows that of the six geo-political zones, the south east has the least federal presence in terms of infrastructure and other
social amenities”.
President Jonathan

President Jonathan


He said the Jonathan government has for the past six years not thought it expedient to give serious attention to the federal roads in the
South east which are now impassable.

“The worst aspect is that this government has failed to revive the major industries in the South east some of which include the Enugu
coal corporation, ANAMCO, PRODA, Nkalagu Cement industry and Emenite among others. There is no major industry that is capital intensive
cited in the south east”.

“The 2nd Niger Bridge has been over sung. None of the bridges elsewhere in this country is a toll bridge except this one. It is not
fair. We will be paying toll for 25 years after completion. Does this show Jonathan has done well”.

PlutoLA:


Bcuz her intelligence has nothing to do with her religion. Its a product of her in born ability and the functional society she's fortunate to be part of

But when something bad happens and Muslims are involved, you'll be the first to castigate Islam saying it is evil and so on.

That's hypocrisy.

But if you're not with that school of thought. I agree with you.

missterious:
Sorry I'm bringing politics into this but this is why I shake my head at those who refuse to vote for Buhari because Jonathan is a Christian. It is absolute ignorance. It's amazing how blinding "religion" could be.

Having said that, I haven't attended church in a month because what's the point? The only thing I see there is the latest shoes & clutches. No spirituality whatsoever. People are so f*#king pretentious.

I know a few who hardly go to church but stay at home and pray to God regularly in their own way. Believe me, some of them are more responsible than those who go to church 3 times a week. We like deceiving ourselves in Nigeria.

standd:


You do not see through my eyes or know the thoughts that form my words. I am not derogatory towards Islam. I just don't like religion...all of them, the way I know it.

Anyway the most important thing is the message passed across.

We need to love each other irrespective of our differences. That's what religion preaches and people do the opposite.

uncjay:
lolz wu tell u say she be Yoruba girl Ode!......my take is, must religious and ethnic sentiment accompany every op? Just like the fool up there painting islam, must u?

She is yoruba, go and find out if you like.

Don't insult the person who painted Islam, whenever it's something bad you guys would be castigating Islam. Now this is a good thing, why shouldn't he be proud?

oduastates:
I beg make una carry una nonsense go jare. That girl is a product of contemporary yoruba home ,yoruba parent and fully owned by an American society which values the education and well being of her citizens.
Nothing nigerian about her apart from the fact that her parents are Yorubas .
She is studying a science based university course which both Islam and christainity continuously undermine to this present day.
I would rather give credit to the omoluabi philosophy which evolved from the yoruba religion ,and which actually supports science and the acquisition of knowledge and good character.
She speaks perfect Yoruba.

Bless you brother.

Wonder the tribe of most of the bigots here

Ilekeh:


Na wa o, I can't even recognize my Yoruba people's names from Hausa name again. All these Arabic names sha

Lool. Once I saw the mother's name as Shakirat, I knew it's yoruba immediately. Yoruba Muslims are known for adding 't' to their names. Halimat, Kafayat, Maimunat etc...

barcanista:
You see how hypocritical you are? You alleged mischievously that GEJ has backtracked on his Amnesty and even brought a link without pasting his word. I don't know whether you understand the government's policy or you are just out to do your usual APC one-way traffic. Anyway, is it Jonathan that told Old Buhari to talk Amnesty in Nigeria and No Amnesty in London? You need to be patriotic woman

Did Jonathan initially offer amnesty or not?

Just give me the answer. Simple!

Interesting, I get your point. It's just hypocrisy in many Nigerians.

However I feel you are being derogatory towards Islam and I can explain why.

I share the same view with him..

PROCTOR:
Technical attacks.........
But you should have left out other faith and their belief
you are very intelligent sha....cos i know how to sieve everything i read online

However, it's your opinion. But don't be surprised if some people don't see it the way you do.
