The audio tape has generated a lot of controversies because in it, President Buhari spoke in Hausa language all through. Many felt this was inappropriate as he is the President of Nigeria and not just the Hausas. In this article he posted on Facebook today, Okupe faulted the presidential media aides for allowing this to happen. Read his article below:
My take on the PMB's Hausa Broadcast to Nigerian Muslims.
I have pondered a while on the supposed message to Nigerians in Hausa language by President Buhari.
These are my thoughts:
I believe the voice is the voice of PMB and not any phoney laboratory creation.
I also believe strongly that PMB never Intended the statement to be used as a direct message to nation. It's one of two possibilities

The media handlers in desperation to dispel unwarranted rumours of the president "death" or extreme incapacitation, arranged for a correspondent of BBC Hausa service to record a message for their station to be related to their listeners. The claim that it was an interview cannot be correct. An interview is a question and answer session not a monologue. What question was PMB answering when he said " I Mohammadu Buhari...."
The other possibility which I consider to be more probable is that someone, maybe Garba Shehu, requested a message from PMB. Because he was talking with an aide who is a notherner, he spoke to him in Hausa expecting that this will naturally be translated to English and issued out officially from the Presidency.
Thereafter before the official process could be concluded someone has forwarded an advance copy to BBC Hausa service, and journalists being who they are with insatiable desire for scoops and breaking news, released it instant for maximum effects.
No matter how we look at it, sheer desperation has caused someone to commit a near fatal Public Relation disaster. Alas, the President suffers an incalculable damage for that but I am sure the handlers have learnt yet another painful lesson

stupid cabals because of their insatiable quest for power see d blunder they caused...and then why don't the president just resign, for heavens sake his sick and doesn't seem fit and capable anymore...this is pure greed
Doyin Okupe has once again proved to be the inconsistent charlatan that he truly is.
His submissions on the supposed PMB audio recording are infantile in reasoning, deliberately diversionary, and a mere pontification of the absurd.
Doyin Okupe consistently loose credibility as a commentator of note by his unenviable rent-seeking posturing!
Why swallow panadol tablets for another man's headache? Let the Presidency defend itself, if it can.
My views!

what ever Nigeria has become today is buhari that has contributed to it state of disintegration, that is why God has kept him busy this long, if not i don't know what Nigeria would be today.he came with this tribal mindset from appointment to administration.. taking note of things that should not be noted why paying blind eyes to things that should be noted...please my northern people.. you will have your eight years but don't present to Nigeria a tribal fanatic to us again.. we need a democrat like yaradua.. one with political and economic will-power. i know it will not be easy as most of them are worst than buhari..
Doyin Okupe made a lot of sense in this analysis.
