Doyin Okupe, former Director-General of the Labour Party presidential campaign, has made stunning revelations about Peter Obi’s 2023 presidential bid.
According to Okupe, Obi lacked a policy document to back his consumption-to-production mantra during the campaign.
Okupe praised President Bola Tinubu’s administration, stating that Tinubu has “meticulously” implemented the ‘renewed hope agenda’ and paid off crippling debts to stabilize the economy.
“Tinubu has a better policy document than any of his two rivals during the 2023 presidential election,” Okupe said.
He also criticized Atiku Abubakar’s plans, saying they were based on theoretical loan arrangements.
“Atiku Abubakar of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) is an experienced, knowledgeable, and thoroughbred politician.
“I know for a fact that he also came with a testament that would have been binding on him and Nigerians.
“So, the premise Atiku placed his testament on was sinking, and it can’t work.

“But when you put the testament side-by-side the current reality on the ground, it is not applicable.”
Okupe noted that former President Muhammad Buhari’s administration was in a dire financial state, and international institutions refused to lend loans to Nigeria.
Okupe’s words were scathing for Obi, saying, “In the Labour Party, we didn’t have a document that we could adopt as a policy document for what was going on. All we were saying was that we wanted to take Nigeria from consumption to production; good rhetoric, but it was not grounded either in policy development or principle application.”
In contrast, Okupe commended Tinubu’s systematic approach, saying, “This man has a systematic, reliable, focused, and applicable agenda that can take Nigeria to enviable heights.”
He acknowledged that although he didn’t support Tinubu initially, the President’s reform agenda is the most credible.
Okupe’s revelations have sparked intense debate, with some praising his honesty and others questioning his motives.
