Former presidential aide, Dr Doyin Okupe has countered the claims by the All Progressives Congress (APC)-led Federal Government that the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) achieved nothing during the 16 years it was in power but only plundered the nation’s resources.
Okupe, who is the Media Adviser to the Director General of PDP Presidential Campaign Organisation, made this known in a Tuesday post on his Facebook page.
Okupe, who was Special Assistant to ex-President Olusegun Obasanjo (Media & Publicity) and Senior Special Assistant to ex-President Goodluck Jonathan (Public Affairs), drew up a list of 43 things achieved by the PDP government and challenged the APC to come up with a similar list.
