T-Pain Nickname Given To Tinubu Means Temporary Pain – Okupe

Former presidential spokesman, Doyin Okupe has stated that Nigerians will likely re-elect President Bola Tinubu in 2027 to complete a constitutionally allowed eight-year tenure, noting an “unwritten agreement” on rotational presidency between Nigeria’s southern and northern regions.

Okupe, who was a guest on Channels Television’s Politics Today on Monday, expressed confidence in Tinubu’s leadership and argued that the President’s current efforts are setting the nation on a path to progress.

Okupe suggested that despite criticisms, Tinubu’s governance has shown promise and resilience, adding, “Former President Muhammadu Buhari didn’t perform well, but he completed his term.

“Tinubu, who is performing well, deserves his full eight years.”

He further addressed the trending “T-Pain” nickname that social media users have assigned to Tinubu, interpreting it as a reference to “temporary pain” for long-term benefits.

Okupe’s comments come amid ongoing debates about Tinubu’s economic reforms, which have been met with both criticism and praise.
