Doyin Okupe, the former Director-General of the Labour Party Presidential Campaign Organisation, has claimed that President Bola Tinubu was the most capable candidate in the 2023 general elections.
Tinubu won the election, with Atiku Abubakar of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) coming in second and Peter Obi of the Labour Party finishing third.
Okupe shared these views during an interview on a prominent TV, on Friday, June 7.
His words: “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, but he is the best in terms of capability, commitment, and knowledge. People keep underestimating what he did in Lagos.”
Okupe also urged Nigerians not to be quick to judge President Tinubu’s administration.
He said, “You can never and should never judge this administration like you judged other administrations. Because this is an abnormal situation in which this administration came to life.
“After such a prostrate economy for eight years, the government and governance were abandoned. Things became so bad. That was the point at which this administration came in. People are forgetting.”
