2023 presidency: Doyin Okupe predicts overall winner, reveals number of states Tinubu, Atiku, Peter Obi will win
Meanwhile, Doyin Okupe, the director-general of the Obi-Datti Campaign Organisation, has tackled Governor Charles Soludo of Anambra state for saying Peter Obi cannot win the 2023 presidential election.
Soludo had, in an article he personally wrote, ruled out the chances of the Labour Party (LP)presidential candidate, who also happened to be his predecessor as Anambra governor.
However, Okupe described the Anambra governor's prediction that Obi will score 25% in four states only as "ludicrous lies". Okupe, who is also a former aide to ex-President Goodluck Jonathan, went on to predict the 2023 presidential election results in favour of his principal, Obi.
