I Swear By My Father’s Name, APC Will Crumble By 2014 – Doyin Okupe





Senior Special Assistant to President Goodluck Jonathan on Public Affairs, Dr. Doyin Okupe, has described the merger of opposition political parties on the platform of the All Progressives Congress (APC) as a weak association that would crumble and disappear before the end of 2014.

Doyin, the son of Okupe, said he is so sure that APC will crumble that bet with his father’s name…

“If they don’t crumble and disappear by 2014, don’t call me Okupe,” he bragged during a courtesy visit to Thisday corporate offices in Lagos on Tuesday.

The self-described “attack lion” of President Goodluck Jonathan dismissed insinuations that the merger party would defeat the PDP in the next election.

Hear him: “Bola Ahmed Tinubu and Maj-Gen. Mohammadu Buhari are not serious-minded people; they are going round like people dancing in a market place. I expect that when you post an aggregate of people of that calibre who want to run government, by now they must have a policy statement on power, agriculture and employment and not just talking about PDP leaving.

“Is it by mouth that they will run the nation? These are not serious-minded people. Can someone get your vote by using word of mouth that PDP should leave without a policy?”Okupe said Jonathan is performing well and Nigerians can see it everywhere, especially in the area of electricity.
