The Senior Special Assistant to the President, Doyin Okupe, has
stated that his employer, Goodluck Jonathan is similar to Jesus Christ.
According to Okupe, the president bears the burden of the nation like Jesus Christ shouldered the burden of Christians.
Okupe made the comments while commenting on the state of the nation
on Channels TV programme Sunrise Daily, on Monday, December 15.
He said: “People do not understand the burden this president is
bearing. He’s like Jesus Christ. He’s bearing the burden of everybody.”
Furthermore, Okupe claimed that the efforts of the government in
fighting the Boko Haram insurgency and addressing the problems in
the power sector, were being hindered by external factors.
He would also add that it was impossible for Jonathan to lose the elections in 2015.
