Before the 2023 general election, Okupe was aligned with Peter Obi, a former Governor of Anambra State.

I can no longer support Peter Obi because we had agreed that the President should come from the South.

Baba Adebanjo called me and asked, “If a Southern President is to be elected, which zone should they come from?” I replied that it should be the South East. Let’s support them.

“And all prominent Yoruba figures supported you; why are you now criticizing us publicly? It’s not right.”
