Tinubu best presidential candidate in 2023, says Ex-Peter Obi campaign director Doyin Okupe

Doyin Okupe, former presidential aide and campaign director for Peter Obi in the early stages of the 2023 presidential campaigns, has expressed his admiration for President Bola Tinubu, whom he regards as the most capable candidate among those who vied for the presidency.

In an interview on Channels Television’s Politics Today, on Friday, Okupe commended Tinubu for his capability, commitment, and knowledge, stating, “Of all the people that actually ran for President in 2023, by the benefit of hindsight, Bola Tinubu is the best.”

Despite his previous involvement with Obi’s campaign, Okupe emphasized that supporting Tinubu does not amount to betrayal.

He clarified that his support for Obi was based on their mutual belief that a Southerner should be president, which led to their departure from the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) and eventual involvement with the Labour Party.

Okupe further addressed concerns about the relatively short time of the Tinubu administration, suggesting that it is premature to judge its performance. He asserted that given time, Tinubu has the potential to excel in governance.

Recall that Okupe resigned from his position as campaign director for Obi following legal proceedings that found him guilty of financial impropriety.
