Just when many were probably asleep, the senior special assistant to President Goodluck Jonathan on public affairs, Dr Doyin Okupe, took to his
page in the early hours of this morning, February 11, to create a big drama.
Dr Okupe caused a big uproar on Facebook when he described the activities going on on social media concerning the 2015 elections, as “political masturbation”.
Dr Okupe said; “People talk on facebook and twitter as if the elections will be decided here. What goes on here is nothing but political masturbation. The actual voting takes place in the real world.
There are about 13m and 4.5m Nigerians on facebook and Twitter respectively. On the average because of multiple presence we can assume a number of 15m. 50% or 7.5m are not registered. Out of the remaining 7.5m another 50% will not vote. So we are looking at about a max of 3.75m voters from these platforms.
The projected voters for this election is expected to be about 52/55m. Therefore contributions from these two platforms is about 5/6%. Please be humble here and stop playing God.
I was on a national rsdio program at the weekend. For about 35mins 100% of contributors from all over the country were supportive of President Jonathan.
I have an independent poll report from the SW the result is adtonishing. 60% of over 18000 participant prefered Jonathan to Buhari. This trend was most prominent in lagos. This study was done by a foreign group
Indeed there shall be weeping and gnashing of teeth in the Buhari csmp on the 28th of march and beyond. Those who have ears let them hear”.
This comment didn’t go well with some Facebook lovers as they were quick to lash out at the President Jonathan’s aide. See some comments below;
Meanwhile, you will recall that during a media briefing at the presidential villa in Abuja recently, the unexpected happened when Dr Doyin Okupe, mounted the podium to attack the APC presidential candidate, Rtd Gen Mohammad Buhari, and he was heckled by journalists.
