BREAKING: Doyin Okupe Resigns As Labour Party’s Campaign DG
The Director General of the Obi-Datti Campaign Organisation, Doyin Okpue, has resigned from the position.
Okupe disclosed this in a letter addressed to the Presidential candidate of the Labour Party, Peter Obi, on Tuesday evening, and can be seen on his official Twitter account.
In a letter attached to the tweet, Okupe wrote, “Dear Peter, you will recall that I briefed you yesterday about my travails in seeking justice and clearing my name using the Nigerian Legal System to pursue same,” the letter read in part.
“I have invested too much in your campaign to allow my personal travails to become a source of distraction.
“In the circumstances, I have opted to step aside and plead that you appoint a new Campaign DG who can continue the assignment with zero distractions. God bless you and family.”
Okupe’s resignation is connected to his recent conviction by a Federal High Court in Abuja over money laundering violations.
