Doyin Okupe, Senior Special Assistant to the President Goodluck Jonathan on Public Affairs has described the All Progressives Congress presidential candidate Major General Muhammadu Buhari as a religious bigot, adding that, the former Head of State is a non-issue.
On his Twitter page, Okupe wrote that Buhari is not fit to be a role model because of his claim to being poor. “Buhari, to me, is a non-issue. Buhari only has two things going for him.
“He has not improved himself since he left office and that he has not added any value, personally to himself or to any political tendencies that he (Buhari) represents.”

Okupe then wrote that Buhari is not even a nationalist as is widely believed. “Buhari is a religious bigot and there is nothing he can do about that. He is not even a nationalist.
“Buhari is trying to make poverty a virtue, but poverty is not a virtue. The fact that Buhari has left office for so long and he says he is so poor, is nothing to celebrate. It is indolence and shameful.
“Is that a role model? Is that who (Buhari) you will want your children to be, a poor man? Indolence is not something we should celebrate. If a man like Buhari at his age says he is a poor person,that is too bad and it is also a deceit. That is not integrity.”
