ABUJA (Sundiata Post) – Following his conviction by a Federal High Court on Monday money laundering charges, Dr Doyin Okupe on Tuesday (today) resigned as Director-General of the Labour Party Presidential Campaign Council.
Okupe threw in the towel via a short letter addressed to Mr. Peter Obi, Presidential candidate of Labour Party.
The letter reads:
Dear Peter,
You will recall that I briefed you yesterday about my personal travails in seeking justice and clearing my name using the Nigerian Legal System to pursue same. 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.
Doyin
