A former presidential spokesperson, Doyin Okupe, has said that Nigerians will vote for President Bola Tinubu again in 2027.
Okupe, a former campaigner for Labour Party’s Peter Obi, said that Tinubu’s social media nickname, T Pain, merely signifies temporary pain.
Okupe made this known as a guest on Channels Television’s Politics Today show on Monday.
He said there is an unspoken agreement on rotational presidency between the southern and northern regions.
He said former President Muhammadu Buhari, who according to him, did not do well, completed 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,” he added.
Okupe said the T-Pain nickname given to Tinubu on social media “means temporary pain that will lead to an extensive, pleasant and something good for the nation”.
