Politics › Okupe May Hire Keyamo To Defend Him by Demdem(op): 10:03am On Aug 29, 2012
Haunted By His Past, Okupe May Hire Keyamo To Defend Him


These are not the best of times for Doyin Okupe, a medical doctor recently hired by President Goodluck Jonathan to step into the role of presidential “attack dog.” Since his appointment, Mr. Okupe has faced a barrage of criticism over his involvement in several contract scams. At least two state governments, Imo and Benue, have accused the new presidential aide of failing to execute contracts that were awarded to his company.

The criticisms have taken a toll on Mr. Okupe’s integrity, calling his suitability to be a public official to question.

“It’s honestly embarrassing that the Presidency would appoint somebody like Dr. Okupe as a special assistant to the President on public communications without vetting his credentials and examining his past,” said a vocal civic rights advocate based in Abuja.

Mr. Okupe, who once served as spokesperson for former President Olusegun Obasanjo, is accused of bolting away with N634m worth of contract in Benue State when George Akume was the governor of the state. The Benue State Commissioner of Works and Transport, Benjamin Ashaver, has said that the state has reported Mr. Okupe to the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission for recovery of the mobilization fees paid to Okupe’s company for work that was never done.

Last Sunday, the embattled Mr. Okupe hosted several bureau chiefs of media houses in his hotel room at Hilton Hotel, Abuja. A source familiar with the meeting told SaharaReporters that the presidential aide told the reporters that he wanted their cooperation in the midst of widespread attacks questioning his integrity.

The source revealed that Mr. Okupe was visibly rattled when one reporter asked him to explain what he knew about the contract. “Having carefully selected those who were invited to the parley, Dr. Okupe did not expect the question and showed that he was taken aback,” said our source. Mr. Okupe merely said he had hired a Lagos-based legal practitioner, Festus Keyamo, to issue a statement on the matter. He stated that Mr. Keyamo’s statement would be released by Monday.

“My lawyer, Festus Keyamo, will speak on the matter, please. For now, let me face my job,” he told the reporters.


However, a source in the Benue State government told SaharaReporters that Mr. Okupe has no credible defense for taking the state’s funds and then absconding. “If he’s claiming that Keyamo is going to issue a statement, he is merely begging for time, hoping that Nigerians will soon forget about the matter,” the source asserted.

Bawss1: Is the company bidding for any government projects?
SPG is among the thievery companies that collected subsidy payments and was indicted by the House. Even if they were not even indicted, dont u think this is a conflict of interest for a serving minister to remain in govt when her company is patronising the same govt?

Of cos, she will tell u that the money didnt go to her pocket. It went for the electioneering campaign of the Retardeen. Remember the Neighbour to Neighbour campain during the elections? She was in Charge. cool

Billygee2u: Because you Nigerians refused to learn,you all are in this very messy situations and condition that is irritating to every one .
It is people like you that will continue to cry and call the international communities to come for your aid when the state police will rubbish your life and the destiny of your generations.
When the Governors will use them to acquire your lands and personal properties,even kill whoever that will stand on their way with the unquestionable actions of the state police,then you will change your tongue.
Nigerians don't look ahead and read the future with the present events.
One strong reason which you should know is that Governors will use state police to rig elections and deny you your elected person .Who speak against their looting will be kidnapped and killed silently.
Remember that political tugs started from OBJ to ORJI UZO KALU to the past governor of Imo state OHAKIM and graduated to kidnapping and killing of innocent citizens.
Then,how much evil will be multiplied by this DO OR DIE GOVERNORS when the whole state police will be totally under their control as ,HOUSE BOYS ARE TO THEIR HOUSE OWNER?
The mere fact that you are responding every post u dont agree with with the same post suggest that u are simply empty up here. Guys are here giving different suggestions on how this present system which has failed for decades and still failing to meet the expectations of Nigerians on how to improve it and u are here talking jargons.

Is it a must that the Police will have to be under the control of the executives? its all about restructuring to fit our peculiar case. I cant start repeating my previous post for dumbass like u. If u are interested in learning, check it up.
Governor this, governor that, Nonsense. Abegi, spare me ur rants.

merengue: Wasn't it under a federal police structure that the brigandage of Andy Uba in Anambra happened? If we had state police, would Tafa Balogun, Kenny Martins, Jemibowon and co have stolen as much as they did? People ask for true federalism, they ask for resource control yet they want the very corrupt centre to continue providing security for a population of 150m plus? We've seen times without number how police commissioners posted to new offices struggle to perform due to their limited understanding of the terrain. We must have fiscal federalism, we must have resource control and we must be willing to take the responsibilities that come with it. What it means is that for every pickpocket in Mushin, every armed robbery attack in Asaba, every bomb blast in Maiduguri, every kidnap incident in Aba, every communal clash in Jos, GEJ and every other president that comes after him under this present structure should be blamed and not the governors in these places.

PEREP: I heard LASTMA now have a financial target in Lagos and you can imagine a Lagos State Police fully armed with targets. We should not hide behind this issue of foreigners policing the locals because a Lagos of today is known by foreigners than even the locals themselves. All we need is intelligence gathering by having more efficient police officers without uniforms and the job ll be done. If the guys fighting the BH in Maiduguri stay with the people and known, they will simply execute almost all of them overnight. The current structure is better.
U heard doesnt make it a fact. It may even be a rumour. Even i also heard TimaRiv also have a financial target also. Anyway, have suggested some things on this thread afterwards towards making sure we have effective policing. Kindly take a look at it. The current structure is a failure and the results from it so far is miserable. There is a need for change.

Willzkid: you could start by according your president more respect even when you dont agree with his style and policies (like me)..God demands it, and habitually calling your nation's leader a "clueless retardeen" doesn't cut it for an (aspiring) son of God
No offences, pls
I will not respect a leader that cares less about me or the citizenry.
I will not respect a leader that has the list of evil boko sponsors with him and yet refused to act on it therby allowing them to continue to bomb the innocent.
I will not respect a leader that sees Evil boko as his brothers and sisters.
I will not respect a leader who surrounds himself with liars, subsidy thieves, killers and murderers etc

Instead i see such leader like Pharaoh of hold tormenting the lord's people. The best prayer is like the prayer of old which is God in his infinite mercy should speedily and suddenly cut off such a leader.

I know u dont understand why this is so. only those who may have lost loved ones to these blood-suckers knowing fully well that there is a leader that is being paid to ensure security of lives and properties who isnt doing what is expected of him.

Good Riddance.

I respect ur opinion, so u respect mine cool

Calm down. having a state police doesnt mean an end to the Federal police. Their roles will be well-defined and well-structured for better policing. It will not lead to any stateless society

CHIDI EJIOGU: CORRECT. BUT THINK WHAT CAN HAPPEN IF THESE TRAINED LOCAL CHAMPIONS WITH STATE GOVT UNIFORMS WERE TO BE INFILTRATED BY MONEY BAGS SEEKING POWER BY WHATEVER MEANS.THEY CAN BE USED FOR ASSASSINATIONS AND TO INFUSE TERROR TO THE COMMON MAN.
Am happy at least we have a common ground which is the current system simply isnt working and we have to change. These challenges (not perculiar to Nigeria alone) will have to be considered when deciding the best structure suited for us. Consider my earlier post.

Demdem: besides, its not a must that the police will have to be under the authority of the executives. They could be independent, under the supervision of the judiciary or whatever. We could even elect police chiefs in states or even communities that will be answereable to the people that elected them etc. A lot of restructuring that will eventually lead to a well-fortified police force better than what we have now can be initiated.
What we have presently is simply not working and thats a fact. Only the foolish will advocate that we stick to status quo hoping to get a different result. It doesnt work that way.
The Retardeen is just being myopic as usual.

all4naija: It is obvious you are quick to see insult in explaining something to you in rudimentary. What you don't understand is that State governors are as corrupt as the federal government. The allocations would be channeled to foreign accounts as Ibori did, if that is what you are looking at.
because the states are corrupt, does that mean the FG who controls the police is less corrupt? Does that mean no funds are channeled to foreign accounts from the FG purse? The FG is the biggest corrupt monster we have presently and it still controls a useless police force.
lets break the force down, lets know who is who within the force? lets know who is responsible for what in our respective states and not always going to Abuja for everything. let me know who i will crucify if am not well-secured within my state. As Simple as ABC.

Bro, Criticisms is perfectly working and it reaches him perfectly. If not dogs like Okupe wont be hired of recent. he wont even be making the comments he is making. besides, criticism is normal and not peculiar to naija alone.

In my on little way, i have made suggestions and will continue to but who am i that the retardeen will listen to. besides, suggestions are being proffered daily by the political class and the question is how much of these suggestions do the Retardeen take note of? A man that surrounds himself with liars, thieves, murderers and killers etc will never have any respect or spot any good suggestion.
Bet u me, Criticms works better than suggestions in this regard.
Politics › Re: Governors Will Abuse State Police - Jonathan by Demdem(m): 1:36pm On Aug 28, 2012
Its an accepted fact that we currently have a failed system (Police force) that has been in operational for decades. Efforts have been made over the years to ensure the force is rejuvenated and responsive to the desires of the Nigerian people either by more funds, leadership change, operational changes, salary increase, even uniform change etc all to avail. Nigerians still yearn for an effective police force still.

Its high time we re-structure the system itself. Anything except this is a waste of time and futile. We cant continue to do what we have been doing over the years and expect a different result. Time for something different. Lets do it the way other federal systems in other countries are doing it and hopefully expect the same result.

There will be challenges no doubt but they aren't insurmountable. State police Now.

Nothing in my comments so far suggests pessimism bro. The retardeen isnt the first leader to be criticised and he will surely not be the last. I dont even expect it to affect his giving democracy dividends to Nigerians. Its only results that will shut the mouth of critics not lamentation. The earlier the retardeen knows this the better.
