Former director-general of the Obi/Datti presidential campaign, Doyin Okupe, has defended the current reforms of President Bola Tinubu’s administration, saying the president is on the right track. 

Mr Okupe, who spoke in a Channels Television interview monitored by Peoples Gazette on Monday night, insisted some Nigerians are unfair to the president.

He said, “Tinubu is doing exceedingly well and he’s going to do much much better. Bola Tinubu needs understanding, not undermining.

“If we do not go through this tough time, the country would have collapsed. I am more than convinced that if this gentleman is given understanding, he would do better. Bola Tinubu will fix this nation. Take that to the bank.

Mr Tinubu has come under heavy criticism over his economic reforms which have plunged Nigerians into untold hardship.

He said Mr Tinubu will secure a second term in 2027 should the president fix the challenges before that time.

“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,” he added.
