head of media and publicity of Buhari Support Organisation (BSO), Dr Chidia Maduekwe, yesterday replied the senior special assistant to President Goodluck Jonathan, Dr Doyin Okupe, saying he belongs to the wrong side of political history. Maduekwe was responding to Okupe, who upon the emergence of Muhammadu Buhari as the presidential candidate of All Progressives Congress (APC) for the 2015 election, declared on Tuesday that Buhari’s candidacy was a fatal error. Said he, “The choice of APC or their decision to elect Buhari as their standard bearer is a fatal error. I have been in this game for nearly 30 years or more. I understand this game of politics very well. Buhari is not a winner, has never won, and will not win; and it is for a reason that he has never won”. But in a statement, Maduekwe said that it was unfortunate that the likes of Okupe have failed to see the imminent change in the political landscape of Nigeria which Buhari champions. He wondered why Okupe would fault a transparent process that brought Buhari as the presidential candidate of APC. “Numerous commentators have commended the APC for a flawless presidential primary and the emergence of General Buhari as the presidential flag bearer. It is only the PDP and their several human megaphones with jaundiced sight that have failed woefully to appreciate what every other person the world over has seen and commended. “With the current emergence of General Muhammadu Buhari, most Nigerians are beginning to have a sense of relief that we are getting back on good democratic culture reminiscent of the MKO days. “APC has demonstrated that the democratic culture of Nigeria has come of age and there is hope that things from now will start getting only better. Nigerians can start learning how to walk tall once again among the comity of other successful democratic cultures distilled in the values of transparency and fairness”, he said.
