After elections we must shield our swords, criticise government constructively and patiently wait till the next election – Doyin Okupe tells those criticizing him for supporting Tinubu
Dr. Doyin Okupe has described those criticizing him for supporting President Bola Tinubu’s economic recovery plan as ignorant.
Okupe, a former Director-General of Peter Obi Presidential Campaign Organisation made this statement on Monday in Lagos.
According to the News Agency of Nigeria (NAN), Okupe has faced a wave of insults from some Nigerians on X (formerly known as Twitter) for endorsing certain policies of the current administration.
Okupe dismissed his critics as merely political agitators who tend to insult those with greater knowledge.
He added that, having seen much in the country, he is not as narrow-minded as his critics. Okupe emphasized that the mission of Nigeria is more significant than any individual or political party.
“Except we join hands together to move this country forward, we will be doing the future generations a huge disservice and adding to the sufferings of the masses, he said
“The Nigeria project belongs to all of us irrespective of the political party and political leader in power.
“We must, with all sense of patriotism, support whoever God has chosen by His supreme providence to lead.
“After elections we must shield our swords, criticise government constructively and patiently wait till the next election. That is the culture of true and enduring Democracy”he said.
