Okupe Congratulates Buhari, Says Tinubu Has Always Been My Friend

    Dr. Doyin Okupe, the Senior
    Special Assistant to President Goodluck Jonathan on Public Affairs, has
    congratulated the President-elect, Gen. Muhammadu Buhari (retd.) and the
    national leader of the APC, Senator Bola Tinubu for the party’s victory at the
    March 28 presidential election.  Okupe sent
    his congratulatory message in a statement issued yesterday in Abuja. Part of
    the statement reads thus;

    “Let me congratulate Gen.
    Mohammadu Buhari on his success at the 2015 presidential polls. I equally
    congratulate my friend and brother, Asiwaju Ahmed Tinubu, the APC National
    Leader, and the leaders and members of the APC for this historic success.
    “On our part, we have run a good
    race and fought an intense and unrelenting battle from the beginning to the
    end. Sometimes in the course of defending our turf, the engagements have been
    knuckle- breaking and often outrightly vicious.

    Btw, Happy Easter To All My Lovely Readers. Love You All To The Moon And Back.  Enjoy your Easter.Please continue…

    “The fight and contest for power
    from time immemorial has always been fierce and intense, it has never been a
    sport for the Lilly-livered or the faint hearted.”
    “President Goodluck Jonathan has
    done, once again, an unprecedented act in Nigeria. As a sitting President with
    immense powers at his disposal, he has respected the voice of the people and
    willingly and freely surrendered power.
    “In a magnanimous manner common
    only amongst true democrats, he accepted defeat and congratulated the winner
    even while the final collations were still on. President Jonathan, by this
    singular act, stands shoulder taller than most leaders of his generation and
    even those before his time.

    “This was a character which some
    of us who were close to him saw and were prepared to serve and support him with
    all the goodness and virtues God has deposited in us.”
