Former Head of State, Gen. Muhammadu Buhari declared his intention to run for president recently, October 15, but the Presidency is in no way perturbed by this, according to presidential aide, Doyin Okupe.
Okupe,
who is the Senior Special Assistant to President Goodluck Jonathan on
Public Affairs, told State House correspondents that the duo
of Buhari and Atiku pose no threat to the president because they are
serial failures.
Okupe said:
“The
declaration by the opposition is not really something new. Most of the
candidates of the opposition are serial failures. Atiku has tried twice
and has failed, Buhari has done it four times and he has failed.”
“If
you present yourself for an election, first, second, third and fourth
times, what new things are they bringing? Have they gone to school or
are they bringing new things. We are absolutely unperturbed. The
president is going to contest against serial losers.”
“People
who never win election. People who have no leadership quality and it is
even now worse for them because this President has been given four
years platform in which he has demonstrated his administrative
capability, efficiency and delivery. “
Former VP, Atiku officially declared his presidential ambition on September 24.
