I Can Never Support Peter Obi Again — Doyin Okupe

A former Director-General of Peter Obi’s 2023 presidential campaign council, Doyin Okupe, has said he would never support the former Anambra State governor again.

Okupe had recently said that those abusing and insulting him for supporting President Bola Tinubu’s economic recovery plan are ignorant.

Okupe, a former Presidential Spokesperson, made this known on Monday while appearing on Channels Television’s ‘Politics Today’ on Monday.

Prior to the 2023 general election, Okupe was in the camp of Peter Obi, a former Governor of Anambra State.

“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.”
