‘Tinubu Will Be Nigeria’s President For 8 Years, It’s An Agreement’ – Doyin Okupe

The former director-general of the Obi/Datti presidential campaign, Doyin Okupe, has stated that President Bola Tinubu will reign as Nigeria’s president for eight years (covering two tenures).

According to him, there exists a consensus regarding a rotational presidency, with the northern region expected to serve for eight years, followed by the southern region for another eight years.

Naija News reports that Okupe made these remarks during an interview on Channels TV’s Politics Today.

He noted that former President Muhammadu Buhari completed an eight-year term, and now Tinubu is poised to serve for eight years, should he choose to do so.

Furthermore, he mentioned that Tinubu could secure a second term in 2027 if he successfully addresses the nation’s current challenges.

According to Okupe, Tinubu is performing exceptionally well and is likely to achieve even greater success. He emphasized that Tinubu requires support rather than criticism.

He underscored the importance of navigating through these difficult times, asserting that the nation could face dire consequences without such efforts.

Okupe expressed strong confidence that, with the necessary support, Tinubu could restore the country.

This assertion, he stated, should be taken seriously.

“Nigerians will decide so. I am sure. Nigerians are reasonable, sensible people, not demanding too much from their leaders. If Bola Tinubu resolves this fuel crisis and this food crisis between now and that time, you’ll see that people will go on the streets and say it’s Bola or nobody.

“Bola Tinubu is not a fool. He knows if he does not do this well between now and 2027, he will not have a chance. In this country we have an agreement that the north will do eight years and the south will do eight years.

“Buhari did not do well. We were not crazy. We did not fight; we didn’t raise our voice. Bola Tinubu is doing well; he will do eight years if God blesses his life and he wants to do so,” the politician noted.
