Doyin Okupe, an ally of President Bola Tinubu says Nigerians will vote for President Bola Tinubu should he meet their expectations before the 2027 elections.

The former presidential spokesman Doyin Okupe made this known in an interview on Channels Television’s Politics Today program on Monday, November 4.

He noted that just as President Muhammadu Buhari concluded his eight years, Tinubu will also complete his as he claimed there is an unspoken agreement on rotational presidency between the southern and northern regions.

He said former President Muhammadu Buhari “did not do well” yet he was in office for eight years and now that Tinubu “is doing well”, he would use his eight years.

“Nigerians will decide so. I am sure. Nigerians are reasonable, sensible people, not demanding too much from their leaders,” Okupe said confidently a day after he met with the President in Abuja.

“If Bola Tinubu gives us light in 2027, if Bola Tinubu resolves this fuel crisis and this food crisis between now and that time, you’ll see that people will go on the streets and say it’s Bola or nobody.”

Reacting to the T-Pain nickname given to Tinubu on social media, Okupe said it “means temporary pain that will lead to an extensive, pleasant and something good for the nation”.
