Doyin Okupe, a former spokesperson to Goodluck Jonathan, a former Nigerian president has outlined the errors his boss and their political party made before the 2015 election.

Okupe who was reacting to claims that candidacy of Jonathan was in error stated that the decision to pick his ex-boss was in order but noted that Prof. Attahiru Jega, former INEC chairman should have been sacked because of his political leaning.

“If any error was made it was firstly the failure of the PDP administration to sack the unfair and compromised electoral Officer who was allowed to conduct the election in spite of his obvious and profuse partisanship,” Okupe said on Facebook.

Read his full reaction below:

The impression created in the media recently that the candidacy of Goodluck Jonathan was an error is itself a grand fallacy which totally undermined the whole truth about the sanctity and correctness of the wisdom of the PDP National Executive committee which made and ratified that decision.

All over the world when an incumbent signifies intention for a second term it is customary that the established machinery of the party wholly backs and gratifies such intentions.

If any error was made it was firstly the failure of the PDP administration to sack the unfair and compromised electoral Officer who was allowed to conduct the election in spite of his obvious and profuse partisanship.

The second error was the inexplicable acquiescence of the PDP government to the use of the infamous Card Reader which was skilfully manipulated to the disadvantage of the PDP presidential candidate.

The third error of the PDP was to have fielded a good, God fearing and patriotic man who in spite of his enormous power,
the avalanche of deployable arsenal of war at his disposal, transformed himself to be the victim and refused to fight so that his countrymen may live and his nation survive. The situation in Burundi today is highly instructive.

Certainly history will treat Goodluck Jonathan as one of the greatest heroes of this generation of African Leaders.

Definitely NOT an Error by any stretch of imagination .

I speak today not as a spokesman for President Jonathan, an episode and a proud chapter of my life which has since come to a close but rather I speak as a student of History and a veritable stakeholder in the Nigerian project.

Lalasticlala!

YES!

Firefire:

Same JEGA that announced GEJ as the winner in 2011. I guess he changed sides in 2015 #wailingWailers

The b.astard speaks.
Let the i.diots concur.

Unforgiveable mistake

Ok

A speech from the "renound b.astard" of our time.

Pure truth.

elections are over, its time for governance.
Lets see waht baba bubu gat to offer.
Gej set the standard in electoral reforms, if buari likes he shud tow d path of obj. Where elections were won even before voting commence.

Why is that only Yoruba politicans that served and supported Jonathan are speaking up for him openly?

I refuse to believe this man is a full fledged Yoruba. This type did not come out of the lineage of Oduduwa.
His mum obviously did away match with a Togolese.

Two minute noodles

The indomie brained AgedWailer has spoken.

We haf hear.

Okupe is indirectly saying that Jonathan should have denied us the little jolly and sanity that has returned to the polity. The life of joblessness must have dawned on him!

You can rally round GEJ all you want, but there's no eroding Jega's goodwill!

His reputation has been well enshrined in our hearts and shall outlive even his 10th generation!

Try again, sir.

Brother !!!!!!!! POWER belong to GOD, not jega

Loser, an example of a doctorate degree holder who is unemployable ...

Nonsense, corrupt and clueless like his paymaster

Okupe bastard agbaya.

Jega shocked politicians with the card reader.

Rigging was reduced to the barest minimum with that small but mighty device.

That the truth. Today buhar has appointed his brother as inec chairman to ensure the mistake that brought him to power is not repeated. How ironic

End time

You'd bet the whole APC take over still looks like film trick to them.

If they had sacked Jega. That would have been the last straw that would have broken the Carmel's back. Besides it was God who didn't allow them go through with such heinous decision. To think that the 'bastard' can still spew rubish sef

A lot of concerns grew on the part of the PDP after the appointment of the Ministers. Given Fashola's track record. They know he'd perform and Nigerians would not want to go back to the dark ages. Further worsening their chances of a come back.

Moral lesson: Always endeavour and strive to give your best. Don't get comfortable thinking you're the only option people have.

Whyyy?

Lol. This bastard still dey yarn dust

Crying over spilt milk

Doyin Okupe for the first time is making sense

K

Ok
