Former Presidential spokesperson, Dr. Doyin Okupe, on Tuesday formally declared his intention to contest the 2023 presidential election on the platform of the Peoples Democratic Party.
He stated this in a statement issued by his media office, titled, “2023: Doyin Okupe promises a government that prioritizes the needs of the poor as he officially declares presidential ambition.”
“I believe I have the knowledge, the requisite national political experience and intellectual capacity and wisdom to halt the social and economic decadence, insecurity and pervasive poverty that has nearly made living meaningless in Nigeria.
“I want to run a government which for the first time will make the life, wellbeing and safety of lives and properties especially of the Poor and needy a major priority,” Okupe said.
