Okupe wears one trouser with President Jonathan for pocketing N100 million meant to bribe Labor and Accord Party in South West

The Senior Special Assistant to the President on Public Affairs, Doyin Okupe from a reliable source in the State House is in serious trouble with President Goodluck Jonathan. It was reliably gathered that President Goodluck Jonathan gave Dr Okupe the sum of N100 million in Dollars to mobilize the Accord and Labour Party in the South West since they agreed that President Goodluck Jonathan is their joint Presidential candidate. Problem however started when Dr Okupe start putting up a mansion which was demolished up to four times to meet his taste. He also bought a Range Rovers HSE Sport while his workers in the State House were not paid for three months. “I have taught that the Election period will be our breakthrough but unfortuantely, it was the worst as Dr Okupe could not even engage us in any of the campaign activities despite the facts that we are in “Public Affairs” in Presidency.” a senior staff in his office said. I think the man is good but his dilemma is his elder brother, Wemimo Okupe and wife, Yemisi Okupe. In fact, Wemimo Okupe is the Chief Operating Officer that controls the finances of Dr Doyin Okupe according to our source in the State House. He determines who to pay and what to pay to any of the staff including those that worked in the defunct Federalist Newspaper owned by Dr Doyin Okupe. The Federalist Newspaper was another source which Dr Doyin Okupe used to siphoned money from Presidency and friends of the Presidency. A female staff of the defunct paper said the Newspaper was operated like a cult business and that was the major downfall of the paper! Some days to the March 28 Presidential election, a message was sent to all the staff through the confidential secretary to Dr Okupe that all staff should stop coming to the office without any information on their owned salary of four months. “I am a family woman with children at home, how do I cope without four month salary and Easter is by the corner” lamented another staff of the office. Sources said the wife; Yemisi Okupe is the brain box of Dr Okupe. He determines what Dr Okupe will do especially with the staff. “Unlike before, Dr Okupe would have been running around to ensure we are paid our salary on time but this time around, the wife has told him not to bother himself. She taught we are okay with the food she prepares for us every Thursday” said another female staff that preferred to be anonymous. “We are totally confused now if we would ever get our salary because we have not heard anything from Dr Okupe and May 29 is just less than a month now” said another staff.   Source: daily voice

What I discussed with Jonathan, Buhari -Mbeki

Winner of Obafemi Awolowo Leadership Award, former South African president, Thabo Mbeki, has given an insight into his separate private meetings with President Goodluck Jonathan and his main challenger in the March 28 presidential election, Major-General Muhammadu Buhari. Speaking exclusively with the Nigerian Tribune on Tuesday night, at the Murtala Mohammed International Airport, Lagos, moments before his departure to Johannesburg, South-Africa, Mbeki disclosed that the forthcoming elections were discussed with the two leading candidates, with emphasis on the need for the process to be devoid of crisis. He noted that he was particularly gratified that both candidates gave firm commitment to accepting the results of the elections, particularly the presidential poll. When asked if a direct commitment was given on the outcome of the election, he said "absolutely." He also met with the national leader of the All Progressives Congress (APC), Senator Bola Tinubu same Tuesday evening, before he left for the airport. Mbeki also mentioned the anxiety created by Nigerian media reporting of the pre-election process, which he said necessitated his decision to meet the leaders involved in the electoral process. According to him, "when I followed the Nigerian press from outside the country; reading on the internet, one gets worrying feeling that things could go wrong and that is why it was important for me to talk to the actual leaders and not just read what is in the media. At least now, I am really, really reassured." The former South African president, who is now a celebrated political mediator in the African continent, also stated that during his parley with the political leaders, the need for peace, before, during and after the elections was emphasised, adding that all parties were made to realise that in every election, there must be a winner and a loser. He added that both Jonathan and Buhari agreed that the loser of the election must accept the outcome. Mbeki equally said he never met with Chief Obafemi Awolowo in his lifetime, but that his emancipation exploits were well-known to them in South Africa, saying the sage was not just a Nigerian leader, but a leader of Africa.

Four Edo LGs yet to get PVCs –INEC

With two weeks to the March 28, 2015 presidential election, the Independent National Electoral Commission on Friday disclosed that it had yet to distribute Permanent Voter Cards in four local government areas of Edo State. The electoral body explained that the PVCs were meant for eligible voters, who registered during the Continuous Voter Registration exercise last year. He said the cards in the affected areas of Owan East, Owan West, Ovia South West and Uhunmwonde, had yet to be distributed because the commission had yet to take delivery of them. The state INEC Administrative Secretary, Mr. Brown Ulucha, made the disclosure while addressing some protesters at the state headquarters of the commission in Benin, Edo State capital. The protesters, who were led by the Peoples Democratic Party House of Representatives candidate for Egor Ikpoba Okha Federal Constituency, Mr. Johnson Agbonayinma, expressed displeasure over what they termed as a bias posture of the commission in the state. They also accused INEC staff, including the Electoral Officers in Egor and Ikpoba Okha councils of bias, alleging that the PVCs, which were reportedly stolen, might not have been missing.
