Former senior special assistant on public affairs to the immediate past president, Goodluck Jonathan; Chief Doyin Okupe stirred up controversy today in Lagos with a comment against the government of his former boss.
Okupe, who was speaking at the gathering of South west chieftains of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) said the government of Jonathan didn’t take the Yoruba race seriously.
The former presidential aide comment was informed by the rumours making rounds in the PDP that the party has zoned the slot of the party chairmanship to the North east region of the country.
Okupe called on party leaders to avoid the pitfalls of the Jonathan administration which he suggested erred in its zoning policies within its government and the PDP.
”Yorubas are not slaves, we deserve the PDP chairmanship seat.” Okupe submitted.
