Okupe:”I told Obi that less than 10% of the Nigerian stakeholders are with us in the last election”

Dr. Doyin Okupe, a former director general of the Labour Party presidential campaign council, stated that despite the level of acceptance the party enjoyed during the previous presidential election, he told Peter Obi, the party’s presidential candidate, that he is not fooled because less than 10% of Nigerian stakeholders support them.CONTINUE FULL READING>>>>>

In a Channels TV interview, Okupe identified the key players as the business community, the judiciary, the troops, and the elites in Nigeria. Less than 10% of people support them, he claimed, which indicates that the majority has no stake in their movement and that they will lose the election.

He said: “At the height of our acceptability when we were working with Peter, even people in APC and PDP surreptitiously contacted us to say, Doyin, you people are doing well o. Don’t forget me o. Senior people.

I was not fooled. I called Peter I said we are doing well. But this is not going to win us the election. I said because less than 10% of the Nigerian stakeholders are with us. We can’t win and if we win, they will take it. The stakeholders are the Nigerian elites, the judiciary, the soldiers, the businessmen. So if we only have 10% that means their interests are not conterminous with ours and they don’t have any vested interests or stake in our movement. I said we are not going to win.”CONTINUE FULL READING>>>>>
