DOYIN OKUPE LIKENS BUHARI TO HERPES

Abuja, Nigeria.

Mr Doyin Okupe, spokesperson to the Nigerian President, in an exclusive interview with Dissociated Press commented extensively on the declaration of General Muhammadu Buhari for presidency under the All Progressives Alliance (APC). Speaking shortly after his boss Mr Jonathan declared he was going to run for office in 2015, he said, "Is Buhari not tired? Why does he keep chasing after the presidency? Why not allow a younger man like Jonathan to finish his term. You know this Buhari is just like herpes. Never goes away. You think it is gone but it keeps coming back, relentless."
Mr Okupe however, called on Nigerians to support "the choice of God for the greatest black nation on earth". When asked by our reporter why exactly he likened Buhari to herpes, Okupe said, "everyone who has had herpes know what I mean. Every 4 months, just when you forget it is there, it shows up and makes life miserable for you."
When asked if he knew herpes from reading or from experience Okupe retorted: "I have had it before, when I was in university, but thank God I no longer have it."
Our reporter then reminded Mr Okupe that there was no cure for herpes, following which Mr Okupe chased him with blows. Mr Okupe has since stopped responding to our phone calls.
