2023 Presidency: Northern Ticket Won’t Work – Doyin Okupe

Doyin Okupe, a former aide of ex-President Goodluck Jonathan, has warned political parties ahead of the 2023 presidential election.

Okupe, who said a Muslim-Muslim or Christian-Christian ticket would not work in 2023, also stressed that another northern presidential candidate from any political party would not work.

According to a series of tweets by the former presidential aide: “But if the PDP, based on any presumptive consideration, choose the perilous and clearly unjust and inequitable path of throwing the Presidential ticket at its primaries open to all zones, then the PDP will finally through an unforced error have activated a self destruct political app and would have commenced an irreversible journey to perdition.

“For the avoidance of doubt, if Muslim/Muslim or Christian/ Christian Presidential tickets will not work in Nigeria, so will a northern President from any party, following an uninterrupted 8year rule by the current President, not work in 2023.”
