Okupe says, Saraki ran the best campaign, admitting that the #GrowNigeriaTeam lost by fate

The former Special Assistant to ex-President Goodluck Jonathan, Doyin Okupe, has declared that the Senate President, Bukola Saraki though he ran the best campains but he was just was never meant to emerge as the candidate of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP).

Saraki, who was a leading PDP Presidential aspirant had lost the party’s ticket to former Vice President, Atiku Abubakar over the weekend.

Abubakar had polled a total of 1532 votes to beat 12 other contestants during the party’s primary election in Port Harcourt, Rivers State.

But, Okupe said Saraki fought a good fight and ran what he termed “the best campaign.”

In a series of tweets, Okupe wrote: “THIS IS the MORNING AFTER.

“The #GrowNigeria team lost. But I’m proud of our leader and aspirant, A.B. SARAKI, for his vision, courage, and brilliance.

“We fought a good fight and ran the best campaign. The best media team, & with d most youthful appeal. It was not meant to be. Glory be to God.

“Atiku’s nomination as the Presidential flag bearer of the PDP is a victory for the RESTRUCTURING AGENDA. This is believed by the majority of leaders and people from SS, SE and SW Zones as the panacea for socio-political injustices, lack of equity etc that has bedeviled our nation for decades.”
