2023: You Will Weep After Peter Obi’s Victory, Okupe Slams Critics

Former presidential spokesperson, Dr Doyin Okupe, has faulted those claiming that the Labour Party has no structure to win a presidential election.

In a tweet on Friday, Okupe predicted that the LP’s presidential candidate, Peter Obi, would win the 2023 election.

Okupe, whose name was submitted to the Independent National Electoral Commission as Obi’s running mate, noted that “those mocking us will weep when Obi wins the presidential election”.

He said, “Many who deride and mock us that we have no structure will weep and gnash their teeth when Obi is elected President in 2023.

“These folks underestimate the power of a youthful population who have resolved irrevocably to take their country back and also the network of the Nigeria Labour Congress and its affiliates.”

“Labour party is the fastest growing political party in Nigeria. A nationwide survey shows the influx of abt 100,000 new members daily. Not counting those who just become OBIdient on their own, waiting to vote Peter Obi as President in 2023. Nigerians join the winning team, and become OBIdient today!”

This came hours after a former Senator representing Kogi West Senatorial District, Dino Melaye, told Obi that the time is not ripe for him to be the president of Nigeria.
