The former director-general (DG) of the Labour Party (LP) presidential campaign in the 2023 election, Okupe, said:
“When we were leaving, a few days before we left, I was with the former President (Goodluck Jonathan), and he was pensive, and I asked him ‘oga what is the problem’, and he said he’s sorry for the administration that is coming in.
“He said they’re going to have a lot of difficulties.”

Doyin Okupe likens Tinubu to Jesus Christ
Legit.ng reported earlier that Doyin Okupe said "no administration in Nigeria has ever beaten the bullets that President Bola Tinubu beat".
Speaking in a recent interview on Channels Television's 'Political Paradigm', Okupe said for the past 20 years in Africa's most populous nation, "everybody has been dodging the bullet".
He, therefore, likened Tinubu, the 16th and current president of Nigeria, to Jesus Christ of Nazareth.
