The former Director-General of Obi-Datti Campaign Council, Doyin Okupe has stated that the last time Nigerians has anybody close to President Bola Ahmed Tinubu was the late Nationalist, Chief Obafemi Awolowo.

Vanguard reported that Chief Doyin Okupe, a former chieftain of the Peoples Democratic Party stated this in an exclusive interview.


Doyin Okupe said; "I’ve had opportunities to sit with Bola Tinubu for hours unending. And he has impressed me, not only as a politician, but as a technocrat, a man capable of deep thinking. He has developmental ideologies and policies at his fingertips"

The former presidential aide added; "The last time we had anybody close to him (President Bola Ahmed Tinubu) was Obafemi Awolowo"

He stated further; "Awolowo was a very serious-minded politician, but who had ideas of public policies that would benefit the masses. That is what Bola Tinubu is today. Bola Tinubu, you know, in the Villa, we have a reformer, a president who is a reformer."

He noted; "I’ve heard some people saying that Bola Tinubu came to the office without a plan, he has no clue, that is balderdash, that is nonsense. I have worked with two past presidents. I have studied other presidents closely from a very close point."

The recent statement by the former Director-General of Obi-Datti Campaign Council, Doyin Okupe which was shared by Vanguard News on its verified Twitter page has generated a lot of reactions from many Nigerians on the social media platform.

Hunger Bad!

See how this old man is just fooling himself

This was same person that worked under Jonathan

He is being well paid so he has some job to do

You can curse him from now till forever but people like him are not our problems

Our problems are those who have sworn to be voting only the worse candidates. Whether based on tribe or religion or 5k, they are the idiots we should blame. Funny enough, they make up the larger population of the country

Hence there us no hope in sight. Japa if you have the means

Who takes politicians seriously? If Bwala and Reno can turn around and start chanting Tinubu praises, then anything is possible.
The Wike, FFk and others who are now romancing APC had hitherto made caricatures of the party on several occasions.

These guys are just hustlers, hustling for their daily bread.

If not for profitability and relevance, there are some people that media should do everything to make their voices silent.

Men that have no integrity should never be allowed to speak in public.

Maybe he has a good personality but he is under a curse going by the outcome of his reforms. No matter the effort put in by an accursed person, progress will be far from him.

Yoruba politicians are some of the most horrible and shameless Nigerians!

🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
Thank God sey na Yoruba man talk this one

Tinubu > Awolowo
QED

The day I told my Yoruba friend that Tinubu is Awolowo of our time..the guy rolled out his eyes and nearly slapped me.

Hunger really bad, comparing WHITE with BLACK.good values and integrity is an expensive commodity in the lives of an average Nigerian

Doyin Okupe don turn Tinubu biggest fan.

Hunger na bad thing ooo... shame no d even catch the man as him the talk

Some people stupid Shaa....

Majority of Nigerians want FG should remove the man on #500 naira note and replace it with TINUBU immediately

All these guys had fathers that are members of the same indegenous occultic groups. That have sworn allegiance to diabolical entities.

They are two sides of the same coin. Expect nothing bit stealing killing and destruction from them.


The ties that bind them no be physical.

Is this not blasphemy

All because of crumbs


So pa Awolowo is now a joke to you okupe





The closer you get to tinubu the lesser your brain 🧠 works

Absolutely!

Very factual. No one has had as much influence on the supposed educated majority in Nigeria’s history. Even their Kings rise to his defense. Tinubu is a wonder.

Is doyin okupe telling us that awolowo is not up to tinubu?
To okupe word ' awolowo came close to tinubu ' that means awo is not up to tinubu.

This insult to the saga chief awolowo is too much. Just for a morsel of bread, the shameless okupe is disgracing chief awolowo.

I leave the rest to chief awolowo's supporters and Yoruba' in general.

Blasphemy...

Doyin Okupe is a wise man.

In essence Awo's presidency would have been like this of Tinubu regime a failed experiment.

What hunger cannot do doesn't exist,imagine this old man comparing the man that brought education and development to Yorubaland to the one who brought hunger hunger and thuggery to yorubaland tueehhhh!

Is this not "heresy"?

Hahahaha! I remember when Obidients used to lick this man's ass

The problem is that nobody is condemn the Tinubu lead government.

As a politician when you don't have any other sources of income you become a SLAVE to the system.
Imagine if Doyin had other means of survival he would not ridicule himself in public

The reason I work hard is to never end up like this Lying just to feed at the age of 60 plus .....

Maybe there was a reason Obi never became president in 2023 ... Men like this would have had his ears

BuhariAdvocate:
The problem is that nobody is condemn the Tinubu lead government.

Yorubas are allowed to rule what ever way they want to rule

Now I understand why North and East despite obviously not trusting each other worked together for years

One thing I hate is hypocrisy

You are always out of point you talk recklessly

Doyin Okupe has spoken well.
