A Senior Special Assistant to
President Goodluck Jonathan, Doyin
Okupe, says the President is just like
Jesus Christ.
He said the burden Jesus carried
when he died for the sins of
mankind was similar to what
Jonathan is presently carrying.
Okupe said this during a
programme on Channels
Television, Sunrise Daily, which was
monitored by our correspondent on
Monday.
“People do not understand the
burden this President is bearing.
He’s like Jesus Christ. He’s bearing
the burden of everybody,” he said.
He said despite the many problems
the Jonathan administration was
grappling with, the President would
still defeat the All Progressives
Congress in February next year.
“I can’t see GEJ losing this election.
It’s not possible,” he said.
He also claimed that insecurity in the
North-East had reduced significantly.
He commended the Federal
Government’s efforts, noting that all
aspects of the war against terror,
including funding, were being
worked upon.
“Today, the Nigerian Army is in total
and perfect control,” he said.
He berated the Governor of Borno
State, Kashim Shettima, for not
trying enough to curtail poverty and
deliver the dividends of democracy
to his people.
When asked by the presenter to
justify the claim in view of Shettima’s
allegation that Jonathan was not
doing enough to tackle insecurity,
Okupe said, “He (Shettima) never
fails to amaze me. Most of the
problems of insurgency is situated in
his state but he is travelling to Lagos,
London and other nations to discuss
insurgency but fails to meet the
President on the matter.
“Boko Haram is a multi-national,
international insurgency
arrangement in Nigeria. The group
has links with other international
terrorist groups.”
The presidential aide said the fight
against Boko Haram also had
political undertone.
He accused the APC presidential
candidate, Maj.-Gen. Muhammadu
Buhari, of not assisting the Federal
Government through his utterances.
Okupe alleged that Buhari had said
any attack on Boko Haram was an
attack on the North and that Buhari’s
recent condemnation of Boko
Haram was as a result of his fourth
bid to become Nigeria’s president.
He said the over 200 girls that were
abducted by Boko Haram in Chibok
were still a priority.
He said, “The issue of Chibok girls is
a tragedy but it is a tragedy that we
must bear with fortitude. Chibok
girls are a major thorn in the flesh of
the administration. If it was possible
to get them yesterday, I know that
this government would have done
it.”
Okupe admitted that Jonathan had
not been able to solve the electricity
problem as promised but noted that
it was not a problem that could be
solved overnight.
He said for instance, in the Ikeja area
of Lagos State, the facilities used in
supplying electricity were over 35
years old.
“On the power situation, we are not
there yet. We are definitely on a
road that cannot change,” he said.
He also claimed that government
efforts were being sabotaged by
politicians who sponsored vandals
to attack gas pipelines.
Okupe, however, added that the rate
of sabotage had reduced in the past
year.
