Doyin Okupe, the former Director-General of Peter Obi’s 2023 presidential campaign, has pledged that the South West will no longer tolerate insults directed at President Bola Tinubu. Speaking on Channels Television’s *Politics Today*, Okupe emphasized Tinubu’s significance to the region, referring to him as “the apple of our eyes.”
“From now on, we are no longer going to keep quiet for people who think they can just insult Bola Tinubu,” Okupe stated. He defended the president’s actions, asserting, “He is not doing wrong. If things are not looking well now, they will look well because we know him.”
Despite widespread criticism of the Tinubu administration’s policies, which have led to significant hardship for many Nigerians, Okupe believes there is no justification for complaints against the president. His comments reflect a growing sentiment among some supporters in the South West to rally behind Tinubu during these challenging times.
As the economic situation in Nigeria continues to strain citizens, the call for unity in support of the president highlights the complexities of political loyalty amid public dissent.
