Doyin Okupe, the director general of the Peter Obi Presidential Campaign Council, has made fun of the All Progressives Congress (APC) over the gathering that Musiliu Akinsanya, well known as MC Oluomo, organized in Lagos State.
According to Anaedoonline.ng, the chairman of the Lagos State Parks and Garages Management Committee organized a demonstration on Sunday morning in support of Bola Tinubu, the APC presidential candidate.
In an interview with Channels Television on Sunday night, Okupe asserted that some of the rally attendees were foreigners from the South West states of Osun and Oyo.

He claimed that the gathering called by Mc Oluomo could not be comparable to the gatherings called on October 1 by “Obidients” in various regions of the state.
Okupe added that the rally organised by the APC was a South West rally, not really a Lagos rally, adding that the ruling party is playing “catch-up” to LP.
He said: “One of the greatest things that have happened in this dispensation is that a four-month-old party is now so much in leadership that parties that have existed for 20 years and more are playing a catch-up game and it is not being done very well.
“I want to congratulate the APC for the efforts made today. What you saw was not a Lagos rally. We are a very sophisticated group — a group driven by and powered by youths.

“We have done a forensic of the tape of the rally in our laboratory. We found out that… I personally can recognise about four or five people from my federal constituency, others can recognise people from Oyo, Osun, etc.
“What you saw this morning was a South West rally, not really a Lagos rally. If you give it as a Lagos rally, it is just a fair comparison with what happened in Festac.
“You will recall that the October 1, LP rally by Obidents took place in an unprecedented and organic manner in Lekki, Festac, Ikeja and Surulere — in four different locations.
“What you saw in Lagos today was nothing compared to any one of them (referring to the four locations), maybe at least it is at par with one of them.

“What APC has been able to do, having seen the LP movement, is still about a quarter of what we did.
“We did a forensic study of the tape — 60 percent and 70 percent of those who participated were members of an institution called NURTW.”
