2027: I Never Ruled Out Tinubu’s Re-Election — Doyin Okupe

Former Presidential Spokesperson, Doyin Okupe, has denied ruling out the possibility of President Bola Tinubu winning the 2027 elections.

Okupe stated this while reacting to some online media reports on his statement regarding 2027 presidential elections.

The former Director-General of Mr Peter Obi Presidential Campaign Council, said that he remained a committed supporter of President Tinubu’s administration.

He stated:

“It has come to our attention that some online blogs published a story attributing a baseless and misleading statement to Dr Doyin Okupe, the former Presidential Spokesman, regarding the 2027 presidential election.

“The article falsely claims that Dr Okupe said the 2027 election would be ‘Game Over’ for President Bola Tinubu, if the North were to field former President Goodluck Jonathan as a candidate.

“We wish to clarify that this story is a complete distortion of Dr Okupe’s words and a deliberate misrepresentation of his views.

“What Dr Okupe actually expressed in a tweet only had to do with those he described as pseudo politicians who lack deep thinking, and assume that a joint ticket between former Vice President Atiku Abubakar and Mr Peter Obi or the North fielding Jonathan as a presidential candidate, would defeat President Tinubu, as those thinking in that direction will be dissappointed.

“This statement was made in the context of political strategy.”
