Doyin Okupe, former Director-General of Peter Obi’s
2023 presidential campaign council, has announced he will no longer support the
former Anambra State governor.
Okupe, a former presidential spokesperson, expressed
his stance during an appearance on Channels Television’s Politics Today on
Monday.
Okupe, who had previously been aligned with Obi’s camp
ahead of the 2023 general election, defended his recent support of President
Bola Tinubu’s economic recovery plan.
He criticized those attacking him for his decision,
calling them “ignorant.”
“I cannot support Peter Obi again. The reason is
because what we agreed was that a Southern President must emerge.
“Baba Adebanjo called me and said if a Southern
President must emerge, which zone must it emerge from? And I said South East.
Let’s support them.
“And all eminent Yoruba people supported you, why now
bring us down publicly? It’s wrong.”
