“Peter Obi bringing Yorubas down publicly, I’ll never support him again” — Okupe

A former Director-General of Peter Obi’s 2023 presidential campaign council, Doyin Okupe, has declared that he would never again support the former Anambra State governor, stating that Obi is publicly bringing down prominent Yorubas who supported him during the election.

Okupe recently stated that those who are abusing and insulting him for supporting President Bola Tinubu’s economic recovery plan are acting out of ignorance.

He stated that criticism without understanding the complexities of the situation only undermines constructive dialogue and the potential for positive change.

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.”
