Doyin Okupe, a former presidential candidate, has suggested how to unseat President Bola Tinubu in the 2027 presidential elections.

Okupe, a former Special Assistant on Media and Publicity to President Olusegun Obasanjo, believes a united front of Atiku Abubakar of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) and the Labour Party's Peter Obi will end Bola Tinubu's aim of a second term.

The politician, who joined the Labour Party in 2023, believes the inclusion of former President Goodluck Jonathan will result in an overwhelming defeat for the ruling All Progressives Congress (APC).

Okupe, however, urged business mogul and Africa's richest man, Aliko Dangote, to emulate Elon Musk by backing Atiku Abubakar to unseat Bola Tinubu.

In a post on X, the 72-year-old wrote:

“Many Nigerian pseudo-politicians lack deep thinking. Atiku/Obi will unseat Tinubu. Assumes Yorubas are stupid.

“Bring GEJ in 2027. Game over assumes the North is self-destructive.

“Dangote should be like Elon Musk & back Atiku. Assumes Dangote is suicidal. Where is God in all this.”
