A former Director-General of Peter Obi’s 2023 Presidential Campaign Council, Doyin Okupe, has said that the South West will no longer watch people insult President Bola Tinubu.
Okupe, also vowed that would never support the former Anambra State Governor, Peter Obi again.
According to him, Tinubu is the apple in the eyes of the people of the South West and must not be spoken about disdainfully.
He stated this while appearing on Channels Television’s Politics Today on Monday.
“From now on, we are no longer going to keep quiet for people who think they can just insult Bola Tinubu,” he said.
“Tinubu from the South West is the apple of our eyes. He is not doing wrong. If things are not looking well (now) they’ll look well because we know him.”
Millions of Nigerians are currently in pain as a result of the policies of the Tinubu administration but Okupe feels there is no reason for anyone to complain.
Okupe had recently said that those abusing and insulting him for supporting President Tinubu’s economic recovery plan are ignorant.
Prior to the 2023 general election, Okupe was in the camp of Obi.
“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.”
