Okupe stated this during an interview on Channels Television’s Politics Today on Friday, June 7.

The former Obi’s campaign director said by the benefit of hindsight that Tinubu is the best for the job, Nigerian Tribune reports.

“Let me tell you, of all the people that actually ran for President in 2023, by the benefit of hindsight, Bola Tinubu is the best.

“I have seen Peter Obi, I have been with Atiku Abubakar, I also knew Bola Tinubu many years ago. I have not seen him in the last 7 to 8 years, that is not the point but he is the best in terms of capability, commitment and knowledge.”

He added that he supported Obi because they both believed that a Southerner should be the president which led to their exit from the PDP.
