Okupe tweeted:
“I supported Obi based only on the principle that a southerner must succeed Buhari. Sadly we lost the election. God in His wisdom gave victory to another southerner, a Yoruba & a long-standing associate. If I did not help him to win, should I join others to pull him down unjustifiably?”
Okupe’s tweet is said to emphasize his acceptance of the election outcome and his decision to support the new administration and highlighting the importance of unity and constructive engagement in the political landscape.
