Former
aide to ex-president Jonathan has publicly made some surprising
revelations about the 2015 presidential elections as he advised
Nigerians to move on and forget the past.
In a revealing Facebook post,
Doyin Okupe, a former Senior Special Assistant on Public Affairs to
ex-President Goodluck Jonathan, on Tuesday, December 20, disclosed that
he and his associates in the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) may have
made statements that were untrue during the 2015 elections in the bid to
get returned to office.
The former presidential aide who also worked under ex-President
Olusegun Obasanjo, noted that masking lies as truth was not uncommon in
the political arena as was seen in the US elections that saw Donald
Trump emerge as the winner which will see him become the president of
the most powerful country in the world.
Writing further, Okupe also wondered why Nigerians are failing to
accept the reality that the elections are over and keep being hateful
instead of helping Nigeria to move forward.
Below is his post in full;
"Electioneering Campaigns are over.
"Many Nigerians amaze me the way they go on and on about issues relating to the campaigns before the last elections.
"One Ekewa Olu published a piece I wrote in December 2014 in
the heat of the electioneering campaigns, pertaining to which past head
of state built our refineries. The relevance of that piece to the
Nigerian situation now is extremely difficult to fathom.
"Obviously it was intended for mischief.
"Truth is, as was also evident in the last presidential
elections in the US, candidates SNF their aides and surrogates say
things , either to promote their principals or bring down his opponents.
"Once elections are over, they are simply over. The nation comes together and move on.
"Not in Nigeria. Many political naiveties, still bury their
heads in the heaps of the whole gamut of the campaign trash, with still
so much passion and hate.
"We have had an election in this country, and as they say all
is fair in love and war. The elections have been over for nearly 2years
now. People should ho back to their jobs or find something else to do
till 2019.
"As for me its over, I am done. Period."
Doyin Okupe's statement has however enraged some of his Nigerian followers on social media who deemed his submission callous.
A Facebook user, Ehi E Ekhator hit back:
"Mr, Doyin Okupe permit me to ask you this question without
disregard intended. You are actually saying you said many things before
election that weren't true and Nigerians should grow up and move on?
"I am only asking because of trust and confidence which are
very important to the people who have over the years, felt being lied
to."
Okupe replied:
"Pls Mr man, politicians are not priests. I Don’t mean
politicians lie, but something's are just said for electioneering
purposes. Did trump not say he will jail Hilary if he wins. Is he
talking about that now,? That's politics. Leave politics for politicians
and face yr biz
"Recall that the contest between Jonathan and President
Muhammadu Buhari at the 2015 election was a tough competition that was
filled with constant accusations and counter accusations between the
then ruling party PDP and the opposition at the time APC.
"A leading controversy in the campaigns was the President Muhammadu Buhari certificate saga."
