Africa-Press – Nigeria. <\/strong><\/span>A former Director-General of Peter Obi\u2019s 2023 presidential campaign council, Doyin Okupe, has said he would never support the former Anambra State governor again.<\/p>\n

Okupe had recently said that those abusing and insulting him for supporting President Bola Tinubu\u2019s economic recovery plan are ignorant.<\/p>\n

Okupe, a former Presidential Spokesperson, made this known on Monday while appearing on Channels Television\u2019s \u2018Politics Today\u2019 on Monday.<\/p>\n

Prior to the 2023 general election, Okupe was in the camp of Peter Obi, a former Governor of Anambra State.<\/p>\n

\u201cI cannot support Peter Obi again. The reason is because what we agreed was that a Southern President must emerge.<\/p>\n

\u201cBaba Adebanjo called me and said if a Southern President must emerge, which zone must it emerge from? And I said South East. Let\u2019s support them.<\/p>\n

\u201cAnd all eminent Yoruba people supported you, why now bring us down publicly? It\u2019s wrong.\u201d<\/p>\n
