Why Okupe Is Angry With EFCC

Doyin-OkupeDr. Doyin Okupe, Ex-Senior Special Assistant to the Ex-President Goodluck Jonathan on Public Affairs is very angry with the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission (EFCC). The medical doctor turned politician is bitter that operatives of the EFCC disclosed his personal secret to the public. “I confided in the officers of the commission about my health situation for them to understand why, where and how I sleep was important to my overall well being. Without clearance or authorization by me this information was revealed to the media. I woke up to hear it on radio broadcast nationwide and was published in many newspapers. This is a sad development and a definite breach of the confidence I reposed on the commission as an institution of government. I was born with sinus bradycadia, a non disease based slowness of the heart. It precluded me from vigorous exercise from childhood but I have by God’s Grace been able to live a normal and active life. With age the slowness grew worse and life threatening. I sought medical help and went through a procedure at the Arrhythmia cardiac Research center in Atlanta, where this defect was corrected. It’s just a year ago and I am still under satellite monitor from the USA.”
