President Goodluck Jonathan’s Senior Special Assistant on Public Affairs, Doyin Okupe, has said that he has no regrets for attacking President-Elect, Muhammadu Buhari, during the electioneering period that culminated in the March 28 presidential election.
In a statement posted on his Facebook page on Monday, Okupe said he would continue to stand by his action during the period because he did so to promote his principal, President Goodluck Jonathan and put down his challenger, Buhari.
“Yes I said Buhari was not electable. I also said his victory will not happen. I said and 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 any one who cares to listen. We will be back. Period.”
Okupe said the number of votes earned by the President was proof that the election was competitive enough and that those abusing Jonathan should at least respect the 12 million people who voted for him.
