Former presidential spokesperson Dr. Doyin Okupe on Friday said he is ‘standing in’ as the vice-presidential candidate of the Labour party.
He announced on Channels Television’s Politics Today.
If his candidacy holds, he will run alongside Peter Obi in the 2023 presidential elections.
However, Dr. Okupe might be a placeholder to beat INEC’s deadline for the submission of the name of a vice-presidential candidate.
The deadline ends today.
“Choosing the vice-presidential candidate is an electoral process and it does not stop until the process and schedule ends,” Dr. Okupe said. INEC allows you to present a candidate and later on, if you want to substitute, you may do so, if necessary. But if it’s not necessary, you may as well continue.”
