Former aide to ex-President Goodluck Jonathan, Doyink Okupe, has disagreed with the PDP that fielding his former boss as president during the 2015 elections was an error.
In a Facebook post Okupe mentioned 3 'mistakes' his boss made as the 2015 election drew nearer.
"If any error was made it was firstly the failure of the PDP administration to sack the unfair and compromised electoral Officer who was allowed to conduct the election in spite of his obvious and profuse partisanship.
"The second error was the inexplicable acquiescence of the PDP government to the use of the infamous Card Reader which was skilfully manipulated to the disadvantage of the PDP presidential candidate.
"The impression created in the media recently that the candidacy of Goodluck Jonathan was an error is itself a grand fallacy which totally undermined the whole truth about the sanctity and correctness of the wisdom of the PDP National Executive committee which made and ratified that decision," he added.
"All over the world when an incumbent signifies intention for a second term it is customary that the established machinery of the party wholly backs and gratifies such intentions.
"Certainly history will treat Goodluck Jonathan as one of the greatest heroes of this generation of African Leaders. Definitely NOT an Error by any stretch of imagination," he stressed.

"The second error was the inexplicable acquiescence of the PDP government to the use of the infamous Card Reader which was skilfully manipulated to the disadvantage of the PDP presidential candidate.
