During the presidential campaign ahead of the 2015 polls
Nigeria’s top political shareholders were fighting for votes by all the
means. The positions and credibility of the incumbent President
Muhammadu Buhari have been constantly under attack.
As the election period and the inauguration are over, omgdailyupdate.blogspot.com decided to pick ten controversial statements that have not proven to be real.
1. If APC survives till October 2014, call me a bastard – Doyin Okupe
Okupe, who was the aide to the former president, Goodluck Jonathan, had, in December 2013, said that he would change his name if APC still existed after one year due to what he described as lack of leadership deficiency briefly after it was founded.
He had said: “If they don’t crumble and disappear by 2014, don’t call me Okupe. The APC boat is destined for the Red Sea.”
2. Mark my words, it will not happen for Buhari to rule Nigeria – Doyin Okupe
