Okupe expressed the belief that the president, who had been under severe pressure to seek re-election, would not disappoint his supporters.
“The president has been under intense pressure from ordinary citizens, ordinary Nigerians, foreign interests and local interest groups, and especially even his party.
“Virtually every level of party leadership has more or less endorsed the president to run and I believe the president is not going to let us down.
“He has done very well. We appreciate it and we are calling on him to come and run,” he said.
