FLASHBACK: Mr Doyin Okupe, former SA to Goodluck Jonathan and current DG for the Obi Presidential Campaign Council said: "it is impossible to build modern rail system in Nigeria”

Re: Doyin Okupe: Nigeria Can't Afford Brand New Trains; It Is Not America (2015) by Zydote(op): 12:41pm On Oct 13, 2022
This has been proven to be false as seen with the Lagos-Ibadan railway trains

Re: Doyin Okupe: Nigeria Can't Afford Brand New Trains; It Is Not America (2015) by Zydote(op): 12:41pm On Oct 13, 2022

That was under the failed PDP. Labour party have been repositioned to make Nigeria look like Dubai. Obi is the best man for the job.

---History of Okupe, DG Presidential Campaign Council of LP---

He is 70yrs. Former Natl Pub Sec of NRC during the June12, 1993 election.
He was vehemently opposed to MKO Abiola & supported the annulment of Abiola's victory, although he is acclaimed to be an indigene of Ogun State too
Well, he was also a member of the NPN and he opposed Chief Awolowo absolutely too.
He later became a chronic member of the PDP.
He was SA to OBJ but was fired due to a rumor with Stella.
He was also SA to Jonathan. During his 'SA-ship' to GEJ, he once said "it is impossible to build modern rail system in Nigeria.
He later dumped PDP for Accord Party. He dumped Accord back to PDP.
He has again dumped PDP for LP.
A brand new politician to OBIDENTS, a good customer to EFCC, and now the DG of ENDSARS saviour and Ip.ob*'s hope.

---COPIED---

Zydote:

Is this modern to you?

I assume the interviewer meant light-speed rail (bullet trains), of which China is the only country that has built significant amounts. China has recently stopped building them. Their economic value hasn't been proven to justify their cost in the long run.

The railway system being built in Nigeria today is okay, so far as it is maintained and secured. This thread is pure sensationalism. I don't think the interviewer understood her own question, she needs to define what she meant by 'modern' first.

Even at that, APC is still the worse Govt to ever Rule Nigeria, and their reign will come to and end in 2023.

If you had to borrow before you can buy something it simply means you couldn't afford it. Okupe is 100% correct. The trains are now running at a loss

They never learn from past mistakes.

Then Buhari, the man who truncated a democratic government should not have been
Permitted to participate in democratic government not to talk of contesting for presidency.

"Abacha never stole", says Buhari.
