He said even while in office, he discharged his duties diligently and was never hypocritical about it.
Speaking with Sun, the PDP chieftain said he had no reason to tell lies just to protect his job.
He said, “Lying and looking after the image of your principal are two different things. In the first instance, I have religious constraints; you know I am a Christian and we were told that lying is of the devil.
“I will not lie for any reason because it is the same mouth that I am going to lie with that I am going to pray with and they don’t work together.
“Luckily for me, the first person I worked with was Obasanjo, he hated the word ‘propaganda’ because he felt that propaganda was about lying, although that is not true.
“But, basically, you can still do a good job, even with the worst principal without lying but by emphasising and deliberately delving or over-indulging on the positive sides of your boss.
“So, If I get cornered by a journalist with lots of negativity, I always find an exit, with the positive side of any situation in which I am in and then, dwell on that.” Click to signup for FREE news updates, latest information and hottest gists everyday

You only told people Alternative Truth
ReplyDeleteOga. Really you are not a Christian. If indeed you are one then you would have lied at one time or the other. Being Christian do not alienate you from sin but the grace of God keeps us from falling not by our own works.
ReplyDeleteDoyin Okupe seems to have a narrow definition of "lie". Exaggeration, euphemism and creating false impressions in propaganda all amount to lying. If I downplay the achievement of another person, that is lying. If I deliberately create and try to sell the impression that a mediocre is a superstar, that is also lying.
ReplyDeleteNow, Doyin, have you ever told a lie?
God knows who really its a Christian.
ReplyDeleteDoyin just lied. That statement is a lie.
ReplyDeleteSaying that Nigeria can not afford a new train is not a lie.
All false statement said during election campaign classified as POLITICAL GAME or MARKETING according to you are still not lie.
IT IS AN INSULT TO THINK NIGERIANS DON'T HAVE BRAIN LIKE YOU.
It will be better to stop your foolishness and stupidity. A foolish man is consider wise when he learn to keep quite.
This your very statement is a lie. Being a Christian doesn't mean you can't sometimes lie for obvious reasons. Abraham lied concerning his wife, calling her his sister just to save his life. So also, Peter, the apostle Jesus loved most lied to save his life when Jesus was arrested. So, brother Dokpesi, who are you in Christ to feed us that you're a Christian, you can't lie?
ReplyDeleteDo you think Okupe is a christian in the first place?
