David Axelrod’s Political Consulting
Firm Far More Involved in Nigeria
Election than Previously Disclosed:
Group backing controversial former
dictator" Washington Free Beacon,
February 9, 2015 "A political
consulting firm founded by Obama
administration confidante David
Axelrod has been far more involved in
backing controversial Nigerian
presidential candidate Gen.
Muhammadu Buhari than previously
disclosed, according to a series of
emails obtained by the Washington
Free Beacon and interviews with
sources on the ground. Axelrod’s firm,
the Chicago-based AKPD, has admitted
to doing work on behalf of Buhari’s All
Progressives Congress (APC) party in
the past, but claimed to have ceased
its ties in March 2014 after the
Islamist terror group Boko Haram
kidnapped hundreds of Nigerian
schoolgirls. However, emails sent
between senior APC party members and
advisers show that contrary to the
firm’s claims, AKPD has quietly
continued to perform political work on
Buhari’s behalf as he fights to unseat
current President Goodluck Jonathan."

this guy who compare Jonathan with Jesus Christ. I wondered if he will congratulate buhari this time.

Nigerians have severely criticised the Senior
Special Assistant to the President on Public
Affairs, Dr. Doyin Okupe, for comparing
President Goodluck Jonathan with Jesus
Christ.
Speaking during a live breakfast show on
Channels Television on Monday, the
presidential aide said Jonathan had borne
the nation’s problems and woes on his
shoulders in the same way that Jesus Christ
had always carried the burden of Christians
all over the world.
Gesticulating widely during the programme,
Okupe stated that, with regard to the
Nigerian situation, Jonathan could best be
likened to Jesus Christ.
Noting that Nigerians had failed to
understand the troubles the President had
gone through for the sake of “everybody” in
the country, he said, “There are political
issues. People do not understand the burden
this particular President is bearing. He is like
Jesus Christ. He (Jonathan) is bearing the
burden of everybody.”
In view of Jonathan’s “untold burden” for the
nation, Okupe said it would be impossible for
his principal to lose re-election in 2015.
The presidential aide boasted that though
certain politicians had been allegedly
sabotaging the Federal Government’s
reforms, especially in the power sector,
victory was still certain for his principal.
“Today, the Nigerian Army is in total and
perfect control of the North-East. I can’t see
Jonathan losing this (2015) election. It’s not
possible,” he added.
Reacting to his comments, many Nigerians
lambasted Okupe for comparing Jonathan to
Jesus Christ and asked him to withdraw the
statement.
Online activists who took a swipe at Okupe
urged Jonathan to publicly reject the title of
“Nigeria’s Jesus Christ” which they said
Okupe erroneously bestowed on him.
An angry online activist, Tayo Moore,
accused Okupe of insulting Jesus Christ by
comparing Him with his boss.
Noting that the development was
sacrilegious, Moore advised Okupe not to
hold the belief that he could “insult” Jesus
Christ and go scot free.
“Okupe has just confirmed that he doesn’t
know or have Christ. It is only a matter of
time before he (Okupe) begins to compare
Prophet Mohammed and Jonathan in the
same breath.
“That will be his final undoing. I am
wondering what the Christian Association of
Nigeria has to say on Okupe’s sacrilege, given
its current ‘leadership’ or should I say lack
thereof?” Moore argued via his Twitter
handle.
A Kano-based respondent, Nazir Galadanchi,
cautioned the medical doctor-turned
politician against uttering what he described
as a blasphemous statement.
Galandanchi argued that Okupe’s latest
analogy was not surprising as he had
recently compared his boss with the late anti-
Apartheid leader, Nelson Mandela, with a
view to selling the President’s candidature to
Nigerians.
“That’s blasphemy. Okupe should please seek
for forgiveness,” he added in a message on
Twitter.
Political blogger, Japheth Omojuwa,
described Okupe’s latest comparison as the
height of “desperation” of the Jonathan-led
Presidency.
“Doyin Okupe just called Goodluck Jonathan
Nigeria’s Jesus Christ. We have finally
reached the peak of their desperation. How
can you trust a bad marketer to sell a bad
product? Okupe trying to sell Jonathan is the
journey of a blind man leading another,” he
tweeted.
Social commentator, Temitope Atiba, stated
that it amounted to an oddity for Okupe to
preoccupy himself with drawing semblances
between the President and the central figure
of Christianity.
“You can see the stark irony of life when
Doyin Okupe begins to compare Goodluck
Jonathan to our Lord Jesus Christ. Then
again Goodluck Jonathan and Jesus Christ
have little else in common apart from flesh
and blood,” Atiba argued.
Describing Okupe’s comparison as strange,
another respondent, Aisha Yesufu, said it was
the “height of madness.”
“Is nothing sacred to these people? Is there
nothing that one does not dabble in with
these people? This is the height of madness,”
she added.
She also cautioned Okupe against blaming
Jonathan’s failures on activities of saboteurs,
stating that “excuses are meant for
weaklings.”
“There is not bad weather only bad clothing.
Excuses are for weaklings. A government
easily sabotaged should give way. We are
sick of the excuses. They (excuses) are way
out for weak leaders and sign of incapacity.
“All it (the Presidency) does is to complain.
This government blames all but itself. As
long as this govt blames others the solution
can never be with it but with those it blames.
“Since this government cannot fight all those
sabotaging it, then why is it a government?
Probably, the saboteurs will keep sabotaging
him (Jonathan) and we will keep paying for
it,” she said.

shegsky:
When the deadliest civil WAR breaks out all of us ranting here APC and PDP note that the elites you are fighting for on social media will survive with their families but you and i will be refugees in Benin Republic and other countries if we survive it,and they will still sit at a peace accord meeting somewhere in Ghana ,South Africa or the U.N to still decide your fate and fly back their families with their private jets to continue using those who survived.

if i may ask, where are their children? they are all abroad in safe keeping,Nigerian youths listen and listen good,we have only one Nigeria,what the RADIO did to Rwanda is what SOCIAL MEDIA IS DOING TO NIGERIA NOW,the worst CIVIL WAR IN THE HISTORY OF AFRICA AND MANKIND IS IMMINENT,we are all pushing NIGERIA TO WAR,there will be no winners or losers,Nigeria ,you and i will lose atlast.

The U.S/ the West promised SYRIA and LIBYA better life where they would be free from dictators and corrupt leadership, today you can see how free these countries are,Iraq inclusive after Sadam,Americans are safe in their country
happy and laughing over the suffering they have caused using divisive propaganda to destroy them.

Nigerians be warned ,a great WAR is at hand. all of us here might not be alive to tell the story but i bet you all the elites and their children will be alive to tell the story.You and i don't own oil wells and private jets,then what are we fighting
for?

They want you to be counted as casualties so there would be a case .Please say no to violence

if GEJ wins he wont feed his village if Buhari wins he wont feed his village,and nothing will change ,there is no time a govt will solve all your
problems.There are more beggars and homeless
people in the U.S than Nigeria even in Obamas backyard in Chicago ,homeless people queue up
for food hand outs daily.

STOP PUSHING NIGERIA TO WAR WITH SO MUCH HATE ON SOCIAL MEDIA. BE WARNED OF WHAT THE RADIO DID TO RWANDA. We might not live to tell the STORY.Lets preach LOVE and KINDNESS Partners.
