Doyin Okupe Predicts Nigerians Will Re-Elect Tinubu in 2027 if He Resolves Key National Issues

Former presidential spokesman Doyin Okupe believes Nigerians will re-elect President Bola Tinubu in 2027 to complete the constitutionally allowed two terms. Appearing on Channels Television’s Politics Today on Monday, Okupe suggested there is an unspoken rotational agreement between the country’s southern and northern regions.

Okupe contrasted Tinubu’s tenure with that of former President Muhammadu Buhari, stating that while Buhari “did not do well” but completed his eight-year term, Tinubu “is doing well” and deserves the same opportunity.

“Nigerians will make that decision. They are reasonable, sensible people who don’t demand too much from their leaders,” Okupe said confidently, following a recent meeting with the President in Abuja. He argued that if Tinubu can resolve ongoing issues with power, fuel, and food shortages by 2027, Nigerians will be eager to re-elect him.

Once a campaigner for Labour Party’s Peter Obi, Okupe explained the social media nickname “T-Pain” for Tinubu, interpreting it as “temporary pain” that will ultimately result in a better future for the country.

Nigerians are currently grappling with record inflation, with energy costs soaring since Tinubu took office in May 2023.
