ABUJA, August 12, (THEWILL) – The Federal Government on Sunday reacted to Mallam Nasir El-Rufai’s criticism of statements issued in the media by newly appointed senior special assistant to the president on public affairs, Dr. Doyin Okupe, which defended the policies of the president and condemned the stance of opposition parties.

Among many other points of argument, Okupe had censured opposition parties for their ceaseless condemnation of the federal government’s response to Boko Haram-instituted acts of terrorism, saying all opposition parties, in the spirit of patriotism to the country, ought to come forward with ideas on how to tackle the menace.

And El-Rufai, former minister of the Federal Capital Territory, was one of those who responded to Okupe, branding his utterances as testament to the government’s lack of ideas.

However, in a release signed by Olusanya Awosan, media director at the office of the senior special assistant to the president on public affairs, the Federal Government countered El-Rufai’s arguments, listing series of achievements of President Goodluck Jonathan in more than a year in office.
