In a bitter reaction to Former President Olusegun Obasanjo’s endorsement of the Presidential candidate of the All Progressive Congress (APC) General Muhammadu Buhari, the Senior Special Assistant to the President on Public Affairs, Dr. Doyin Okupe has responded with bible verses.
It would be recalled that the former President in an interview with Financial Times in Nairobi on Monday said: “I’ll only go by the constitution. By our constitution, there must be a new government on the 29th of May and the constitution lays out how that new government should emerge.”
The Senior Special Assistant to the President on Public Affairs, who reacted on Tuesday night via his Facebook account to Obasanjo’s prediction that a new government will be formed on May 29, 2015, said: “Someone was reported to have said “A new government will be installed on the 29th of May 2015. “Lamentations 3 vs 37 says “Who is he that saith, and it cometh to pass when the Lord commandeth it not? “Isaiah 7 vs 7 says “Thus sayeth the Lord God, it shall not stand neither shall it come to pass. “Please if you are a friend of President Jonathan say AMEN to this.”
Meanwhile, Okupe had earlier in the early hours of today Wednesday February 11, took to his Facebook account to cause a big uproar when he described the activities going on in social media regarding the 2015 elections, as “political masturbation”.
However, Okupe who is very renowned for his verbal attacks on opposition parties or any concerned Nigerian speaking ill of President Jonathan’s administration was recently publicly disgraced during a media briefing at the presidential villa in Abuja.
Also, Okupe recently took a swipe at the APC presidential candidate, Buhari and his party for boycotting the presidential debate organised by the Nigeria Election Debate Group (NEDG).
