I did not betray Peter Obi, he was the one who betrayed Atiku —Okupe

Former Director-General of the Obi-Datti Presidential Campaign in the 2023 presidential election, Doyin Okupe, has responded to accusations by supporters of Peter Obi generally known as Obidients, that he betrayed his principal before and after the election.

Okupe who opened up in an interview on Thursday, said rather than be called a traitor, it was actually Obi who betrayed Atiku Abubakar after he dumped the Peoples Democratic Party candidate whom he was a running mate to in the 2019 presidential election.

In the interview, Okupe narrated how he convinced Obi to dump the PDP when he realised the opposition party won’t give him its presidential ticket and decided to support Obi’s presidential ambition after his discussion with elder statesman, Pa Ayo Adebanjo in 2022.
