It will be recalled that Okupe had earlier stated that President Bola Tinubu was the best presidential candidate in the 2023 elections.
His statement was greeted with heavy backlash from netizens.
Reacting, the politician claimed that 80 percent of those against his political view were from a particular ethnic group.
He defended his earlier statement and declared that he would stand by his choice.
“No matter the insult, intolerance and display of uncouthness, I will remain what I have always been. A TRUE NATIONALIST. We have invested too much in each other to go back on commitment to brotherhood and national unity. This new wave of bigotry will not undo the friendship already established,” Okupe wrote on X.
Reacting to his post, Sowore reminded Okupe about their discussion before the 2023 election.
He recalled how he turned down Okupe’s plea to support Obi in 2022.
“What did I tell you when you invited me to join your “Gbajue Movement in 2022.
“I told you then that you’ve never supported a progressive cause in your life. Following that, before discontinuing the call, I told you that you’ve not learnt your lessons, especially after the June 12 NRC saga.”You see your life now!” Sowore wrote.
