I Did Not Betray Peter Obi, He Was The One Who Betrayed Atiku —Okupe by adamusuleiman1(op): 3:18pm On Jul 19, 2024

Former Director-General of the Obi-Datti Presidential Campaign in the 2023 presidential election, Doyin Okupe, has responded to accusations by supporters of Peter Obi generally known as Obidients, that he betrayed his principal before and after the election.

Okupe who opened up in an interview on Thursday, said rather than be called a traitor, it was actually Obi who betrayed Atiku Abubakar after he dumped the Peoples Democratic Party candidate whom he was a running mate to in the 2019 presidential election.

In the interview, Okupe narrated how he convinced Obi to dump the PDP when he realised the opposition party won’t give him its presidential ticket and decided to support Obi’s presidential ambition after his discussion with elder statesman, Pa Ayo Adebanjo in 2022.

He also confessed that there was no way the Labour Party could have won the presidential election in 2023 as the party lacked the capacity to win a national election.

The former aide to President Goodluck Jonathan however, made a shocking revelation that the Labour Party, like other parties, also rigged the 2023 election but could still not win.

Responding to the allegations of betraying Obi, Okupe said:

“Atiku brought Peter Obi into national politics and he went ahead to betray him due to his personal interests. What joined Peter Obi and I was to stop another Northern candidate from replacing Buhari.

“I have been around since 1978, my political journey is not tied to Peter Obi and I can say my truth,” he quipped.

Going further, he said:

“We didn’t have the structure to win a national election, neither did we have agents in about 80% of the polling unit, how can we win an election that way, Tinubu clearly won the 2023 Elections, every party rigged including Labour Party

“Our initial ambition and main reason for leaving the PDP was for a Southerner and Tinubu has won and I’m very happy.

“Talking about betrayal, I didn’t betray Peter Obi, it is Peter Obi who betrayed Atiku Abubakar who was his master”, he said.

COMRADES, Okukpe is a nonsense politician, a betrayer

The best combination comes 2027 is going to be Atiku and Obi, they'll defeat Tinubu and APC by a very wide margin, because I don't think there's any sane Nigerian who will still cast their vote for Tinubu again

Go and listen to the interview, Doyin okupe was trying to prove that rigging is part of Nigerian election. The man is been careful because they have use efcc to bridle and shape his tongue.

Mumu!!

Obi recognized power rotation between north and south. Any one that calls himself a politician and is oblivious of the power rotation is a fo0l.

Buhari ruled for 8 years and you want Obi to support another northerner to rule?

Okupe is obviously eating same shit that Reno is eating, that shit comes from the ass of Timlubu.

In 2007 when Atiku contested for presidency, senator Ben Obi was his running mate. The destiny of Atiku, is it tied to Peter Obi?

When we call some people two-faced backstabbers they think it's a lie, hope the whole world can see their true nature before our own eyes and time.

Peter Obi have never come out to accuse you of betraying him. He has never granted any interview and said he is angry with Doyin Okupe.

But here a journalist who knew what you did decided to ask you a simple question and instead of you to answer the journalist's question that you did not betray Obi that you only decided to align with Tinubu being your tribesman and a Southerner, you rather decided to do exactly what most of your tribesmen are known for towards Igbos; backstabbing and slandering Igbos.

So because Peter Obi left PDP to LP, it is therefore right for Doyin Okupe to be going about media houses attacking Peter Obi and slandering him after vehemently supporting Obi a year ago?

These people don't really have shame in their dictionary. No honor, no integrity, no principle, just about money, political favor and appointments, it is well oh, and I hope young Igbos are learning sha
