Former Senior Special Assistant on Media and Publicity to ex-President Goodluck Jonathan, Dr. Doyin Okupe, on Sunday, described the recent statement credited to vice President, Yemi Osinbajo, that no new road has been built by government in the last ten years as "a lie and an absolute falsehood."

While expressing regrets that the statement was made in a church, Okupe, who stated this on his Facebook page, said that the church has a role to play in politics and that Osinbajo was wrong in assertion.

The former Presidential aide wrote that: “This is perhaps one of the most difficult posts I have made to date.”

“Prof Yemi Osinbajo and I have a few things in common. He is a professional in politics like me. He is a practising Christian and a revered Pastor. I am a practising christian and an aspiring Evangelist.”

“We both are alumni of Igbobi college, Yaba. Lagos. His younger brother and mine were classmates at Igbobi and are both pastors of the fountain of life church, Ilupeju, where I became grounded in Christianity under the mentorship of the celebrated and revered man of God, Pastor Taiwo Odukoya.”

“It was in this church and before a body of pastors undergoing a spiritual retreat that the Vice President went and said that the federal government in the last 10 years have not constructed a single new road.”

“This statement is a lie and an absolute falsehood. Many people have said so. But this is not why I am writing this. My concern is the erroneous assumption that just because the VP is a Christian therefore every christian is APC.”

“This why the VP’s statement is unfortunate in that it was a wrong statement made in a wrong place(church) and before a wrong audience.”

“The church must also be sensitive and mindful of the danger in bringing politics into the church. For Prof Osinbajo, if only he remembered the Igbobi college motto ” omnes unum in domino” meaning ” all are one in the Lord, he would not have committed such a blunder.”

“Our God is God of APC, PDP, Labour etc. Having said this the VP is someone I hold in very high esteem and he knows this. I am also proud of his role in this administration.”

FTC at last.........lalasticlala I will email you my account details so you will send me my FTC entitlement....... FTC crew I know how u feel

Politics shouldn't b done in the house of God coz it is a holy place

APc toiling with the gullibility of Nigerians since arrival......... Shame

OP kindling add your source, or you can add the link to Okupe's facebook page.

Now, Doyin Okupe should have told us the roads Jonathan built because I didn't read him mention any.

This has always been the problem with people like Okupe, people say you didn't do something, you say they're lying, instead of you to show proof and expose their lies, you just say this and that and rant, because you can.

So Mr Okupe, go ahead and tell us the roads Jonathan built.

Osinbajo is a puppet.... No respect to God... No respect to church.. How can a pastor criticise someone in the church in the name of politics? End time sha...

Does politician look like a pastor

Okupe you have not said anything meaningful.I was expecting him to mention the roads Goodluck constructed to counter the claim of the VP.But instead you are telling us both of you attended igbobi college.SMH

I told osinbanjo that no man can worship two masters, either Baal or God. either u choose to lie to worship Baal just to play ur game right or u can choose to be on God's side by being faithful n truthful like Ben Murray Bruce

*Yawns* stretches*GEJ self

Mere commissioner Osibande

Thunder fire Toyin Okupe. He is a bastard.

sometimes I wonder


Is PYO really a pastor


Coz ion get this his style anymore


Though I didn't read the full story but I just want to ask


What's our business if Jonathan didn't build a single road??


Or do u want to blame that for hindering you from doing what you were elected to do



This PYO has been so immature in his blame game... Prolly worse than Lai Mohammed sef.



And yeah I agree with Joseph1832,


Doyin should have listed the roads built by Jonathan if he actually wanted to reply PYO

Tho I didn't see the need for him to reply at all


GOD Bless BUHARI
GOD Bless The Federal republic of Nigeria!!!

True true VP Osinbajo no try for that talk. The lie was freaking obvious! And to think he's a pastor? smh

"Better to remain silent and be thought a fool than to speak and to remove all doubt."

That is the problem with PDP.

Instead of Uncle Doyin Okuigbe to mention one single road his pay master built, he left the main discussion and went into theology.

List roads built by PDP in the last 10years.

Thats all

Comedians everywhere

Are u not more gullible not to know that if somebody makes a statement like that all you need to do is come out and debunk it with facts.

“Prof Yemi Osinbajo and I have a few things in common. He is a professional in politics like me. He is a practising Christian and a revered Pastor. I am a practising christian and an aspiring Evangelist.”


You both are politicians: 'gangsters'.

BTW, Okupe, evangelist? LOL

This why I like Old Tastament more than New Tastament.


If this was in the time of Moses


God would hav sent Amadioha or thunder to strike Osibanjo immediately for lying in the house of God.

Okupe if there is any road why not tell us where it is

Lol bro u funny

na which kind pastor dey lie shamelessly like dis say GEJ no build new roads osumbande is a fake pastor.

Its unfortunate how men change . Its really a shame.

I rushed in here to see names of places where there are new roads....but i was disappointed. The same Osinbajo lied story.

Yet no one as provided any answers for a new road constructed

Seriously osinbanjo no try atall. How can he say good luck administration didn't build any road atall in the church.
Number 1 such issues are not to be said in the church, church is strictly for God's word.

Number 2) most areas in Abuja got new roads during. GEJ regime.

Is not unfortunate that Osinbajo, the acclaimed egg-head cannot add any discernible value to a government that has run adrift?

What has Jonathan building thousands of roads got to do with the autopilot government APC is running?

The VP statements these days is becoming something to worry about, looking at his type and background.

One year is almost over, and Buhari hasnt constructed a single gutter.

Pastor Yomi Osibanjo lied. There are numerous roads built by PDP.
