'I still insist that General Buhari has no Certificate' - Doyin Okupe

The Senior Special Adviser to the President on
Public Affairs, Doyin Okupe, has said that he
stands by his words that the President-elect,
Muhammadu Buhari, is not an electable leader.
Okupe, on Monday said he would stand by his
words that Buhari, who he said had no West
African Senior School Certificate, was not
eligible to contest for President.
He stated on his official Facebook page,
“These are very interesting times in our
nation. An election has come and gone. A
victor has emerged and the loser has
conceded.“Yet some of our folks are
behaving as if we have just gone through a
war between two hostile nations. The APC
agents all over the place are unrelenting in
their tirades of abuses, insults and lies
against President Goodluck Jonathan, his
aides and supporters.
“It is shameful that we are still saddled with
denying falsehood and fabrications in the
social media and even by hitherto highly
respected newspapers.
“Missing $20bn found in an account in
Zenith. PGEJ returns tons of dollars to
federation accounts. N2tn spent on
elections by PGEJ. Okupe says Chibok girls
will not be found. How many lies, deliberate
falsehood and evil propaganda, outright
curses and attacks must we suffer just
because we lost an election in which we
were never disgraced?
“Buhari polled 15m (56 per cent) while
Jonathan scored 12m (46per cent). Those
who talk to us disparagingly should respect
the sentiments of the 12m Nigerians who
voted for Jonathan.
“Of course, we have our reservations about
the results but we will pass on that for
now. We have lost this election but this is
not and can never be a crime. We are all
Nigerians and having lost does not make us
less. We should be allowed to bow out
peacefully and constitutionally on the 29th
of May.
“Yes, I said Buhari was not electable. I also
said his victory will not happen. I said and I
still insist that Buhari has no WASC
certificate. I said a lot of things to promote
my candidate and many things to put his
opponent down.
“I have no regrets for any of the statements
I made. Lai Mohammed said worse. This is
the nature of politics. For anyone who
cares to listen. We will be back, period.”
