Doyin Okupe and Rueben Abatti

The Nigerian president is scheduled to visit Borno this week.

The presidency has described the recently celebrated visit of eight opposition governors to Maiduguri, Borno State, as a media circuit hurriedly packaged to pre-empt the planned visit of President Goodluck Jonathan to the restive states of Borno and Yobe.

The Senior Special Assistant to the President on Public Affairs, Doyin Okupe, made the assertion Tuesday in Abuja while addressing journalists in his office.

“This is surely an act of crass opportunism and political desperation on the part of these governors and the party they represent,” Mr. Okupe said.

Mr. Okupe said the governors were in Maiduguri simply to ‘feather their political nests’.

“Where were these governors in the last eighteen months that they were in office,” he asked.

He also added that the governors were in Borno as part of their mobilisation drive rather than any patriotic call to duty.

“These are desperate power mongers who flock together in spite of their obvious conflicting political philosophies and inordinate ambitions,” he added.

“Jonathan has performed exceedingly well in curbing insurgency”

Mr. Okupe also said President Jonathan has achieved what no leader has achieved anywhere in the world by greatly curbing the incidents of bombings and insurgency in general.

“No country has ever fought or ended insurgency in two years, but within the last eighteen months, incidences of bombing has drastically reduced, and it appears to be under containment,” he said.

Mr. Okupe also said the president’s scheduled visit to Borno and Yobe this week is well timed as now is the best period for him to go.

“What is important is not just for the president to visit Borno and come back, rather what he has been doing is to spend sleepless nights with security chiefs mapping out strategies to combat the insurgency,” he said.

He said the visit by the APC governors against security reports is “sheer political recklessness which could have caused Nigeria major security embarrassment, but for the fact that the Federal Government and its security apparatus took extra efforts to ensure that the visiting governors were safe,” Okupe said.

“Being elected officials, the onus was on the Federal Government to ensure that they were safe in spite of their being oblivious of the peculiar security implications and real potential dangers inherent in their hurriedly packaged visit,” he added.

Opposition elements lack conscience

Mr. Okupe also came down heavily on the leadership of the opposition parties, especially the ACN and its spokesperson, Lai Mohammed, for ‘the over politicization of virtually every crime and tragedy that happens in the country.”

Mr. Okupe said only the likes of Lai Mohammed and his party can seize the opportunity of the gruesome murder of the late Kwara State Police Commissioner, Chinwike Asadu, to acquire any political mileage without considering the interest of the deceased’s grieving family.

Mr. Okupe added that criminality exists all over the world, but the overriding duty of government is to ensure safety of lives and property and ensure that perpetrators of crime are made to face the full weight of the law.

He said that Mr. Jonathan has vowed that under his government, “nobody will kill a Nigerian and get away with it.”

“We will come after you and we will get you,” he said.

Like a laptop job. Sorry, that's for clowns like you..

Okupe has gone mad.

This is SOOO FUNNY!

“nobody will kill a Nigerian and get away with it.”

“We will come after you and we will get you,” he said.

Do you laugh at this cruel joke at the expense of many dead innocent Nigerians from so many bombings and shootings?

Cant you people learn to read the writings. APC GOVERNORS visited borno and contributed 5oothousand dollar in cash to the already dead BH, immidiately BH soldier put the money in proper use by throwing bomb that same day and the following shekaru came back to life and attack an army barrack and othe millitary formation. All in All, just to descredit oga jona govt.

. We know their sponsors. APC GOVERNORS 5ooHUNDRED THOUSAND DOLLAR LAGEESE to revive BH in borno is not a small money.

.............it shows the opposition thinks faster......abi?

This means Abunati and Pigyin Odepe should upgrade their memories and processing speed....

Right on spot Okupe.I can see APC Laptop Dogs runing for cover.

Okukpe can rant from now till Jesus comes, the fact remains that:

GEJ remains a coward who hides under his wife's wrapper when faced with challenges.

So Because GEJ has no balls to visit maiduguri others shouldn't abi? Warra joke.

Hehehehe! These GEJ's musketeers are funny! The same people who PEJ called liars, dem still get mouth to tell us their Oga no be coward.

Shameless fellows!

What Jonathan cannot do, APC governors did it better! Balless dickhead!

Don't know who does the a*s*s-kissing better, wether APC dogs or PDP dogs. Seems to b like a full-time job for y'all. Anyways, wish him safe journey and let him do the needful for the pple of Borno and naija at large.

GEJ should talk some senses into Okupe and Abati. These guys are killing him slowly. Must they respond to anything the opposition party does? How can you say a group of Nigerian leaders who decided to meet in a certain part of Nigeria were playing to the gallery? The agurement that the president had plans to visit Borno still makes no sense to me. So if the president plans to visit say Bayelsa state next week and the APC governors also decides to hold a meeting there few days before the president's visit, it becomes a crime? GEJ should tell his media aides to focus more on his strong points and play down his weak side, rather than desperately trying to cover obvious facts with cheap lies. Okupe must be high on alomo when he said "Nobody will kill a Nigerian and get away with it". That man lies from the four cardina points of his mouth to earn a living. Smh.

I will suggest APC motto to be " WE LEAD WHILE PDP FOLLOWS".

Damn!
Why you murder PDP like this now?

How many years of planning does it take the president to visit Borno?
The VP went there and the whole town was locked down just like Ebele does when he visits any part of the country
The APC governors visited and moved on the streets[with no bullet proof vests] openly waving at Borno citizens and visiting a school interacting with the students
This was no film trick seeing a governor like Fashola moves in normal traffic like a common citizen
Why is Ebele always running from his own shadow?

Sincere 9gerian: "The presidency has described the recently celebrated visit of eight opposition governors to Maiduguri, Borno State, as a media circuit hurriedly packaged to pre-empt the planned visit of President Goodluck Jonathan to the restive states of Borno and Yobe"


"He said the visit by the APC governors against security reports is “sheer political recklessness which could have caused Nigeria major security embarrassment, but for the fact that the Federal Government and its security apparatus took extra efforts to ensure that the visiting governors were safe,” Okupe said

On behalf of APC governors, Thank you PDP for ensuring the safety of our governors during the visit to maiduguri.





OLOSHI!

What about the good governance tour team and all measures put in place by governors to make their stay peaceful?

Nigerian government is on vacation.Why wait till now after boko haram has killed hundreds of people in Maiduguri ?

Okupe and Abati need to be injected with valium and lagathin.foolish people.

Jonathan and his 'follow follow' attitude. It seems like the man has no intelligent person in his government.

The presidency is right, in as much as i have some personally reservation for PDP led government, that very act of APC was not only ridiculous but also mischievous, else, why make fuss out it if it wasn't hurriedly made to ridicule Mr. president earlier arrangement to visit the region.
