Doyin Okupe, a former director General of the Peter Obi Presidential Campaign has said that the 2023 number one candidate of the Labour Party, Peter Obi’s mantra on moving Nigeria from a consumption to production economy lacks a support policy document.

Speaking while assessing the performance of the Bola Tinubu’s administration, Okupe said the former Anambra State governor failed to provide a document to back up his plan to turn Nigeria’s economy around.

Arguing that Tinubu has a better policy framework compared to his top contenders including Obi and Atiku Abubakar of the Peoples Democratic Party, Okupe commended the president and his team for implementation reforms.

He said, “Tinubu has a better policy document than any of his two rivals during the 2023 presidential election. Atiku Abubakar of the Peoples Democratic Party, PDP, is an experienced, knowledgeable, and thoroughbred politician. I know for a fact that he also came with a testament that would have been binding on him and Nigerians.”

He also accused the President Muhammadu Buhari’s administration of running Nigeria’s economy aground. He said the immediate past administration left the country in a precarious financial state.

“The premise Atiku placed his testament on was sinking, and it can’t work. As for Peter Obi of the Labour Party, he did not give any document to Nigerians that he was going to work on. In the Labour Party, we didn’t have a document that we could adopt as a policy document for what was going on.

“All we were saying was that we wanted to take Nigeria from consumption to production; good rhetoric, but it was not grounded either in policy development or principle application,” Okupe said.
