In an interview with Adeola Fayehun of Sahara TV,
Presidential aide Doyin Okupe, while reacting to a question on why trains seen
in Nigeria are looking very locomotive compared to the ones in America, said that: "Forget it. We are not America. You cannot have brand new trains
because the economy cannot support that."he said
Asked why Nigeria economy cannot support the purchase of brand new
trains since we have been quoted as the largest economy in Africa, Dr Okupe
only said; "We are the largest market. We are the largest economy"
and the video fades out.
See the Nigerians reaction to Mr Okupe's statement. See that after the
cut...
Abike Dabiri-Erewa, in her reaction wrote: ‘’Its an absolute display of
mediocrity 2 (to) attempt 2(to) justify the use of trains purchased over 2
decades ago as transformation’
