Dr. Okupe Thrown Out Of His Job In Presidency

There are indications that President Goodluck Jonathan has dispensed with the services of his senior special assistant on public affairs, Dr. Doyin Okupe. The President hired him a couple of years ago to launder the image of his administration, and, according to political analysts, also as an “attack dog.”
Information reaching Greenbarge Reporters in Abuja today indicated that already, the office from where Dr. Okupe has been operating has been disbanded and the supporting staff sent home.
One of the senior staff in his office confided in our reporter that no staff has been reporting in office since March 28 when the Presidential and National Assembly elections were held and lost by his employer, President Jonathan.
“The office has remained closed since then,” the senior staff complained, adding that even their March salary is yet to be paid. [myad]
