According to Okupe, his attackers were mere political urchins with penchant for insulting those who know more than them, adding that he had seen enough in the country and that he was not as narrowed -minded as his critics.
He said the project of Nigeria is bigger than any person or political party.
Okupe said: “Except we join hands together to move this country forward, we will be doing the future generations a huge disservice and adding to the sufferings of the masses.
“The Nigeria project belongs to all of us irrespective of the political party and political leader in power.
“We must, with all sense of patriotism, support whoever God has chosen by His supreme providence to lead.
“After elections we must shield our swords, criticise government constructively and patiently wait till the next election. That is the culture of true and enduring Democracy,” he said.
The politician said it was regrettable that many young Nigerians abusing elders know nothing or little about Nigeria.

Okupe, who had long resigned his membership of the Labour Party, said that those accusing him never considered the risk he took to support Obi against his own personal interests.
He said that he supported Obi based on personal conviction and of his own free will and accord.
