Doyin Okupe has stepped down from his position as Campaign Director-General of the Labour Party’s 2023 presidential candidate, Mr. Peter Obi..

In the resignation letter addressed to Peter Obi barely 24 hours after he was convicted of money laundering charges, Okupe said he took the decision because he has invested too much in your campaign to allow his travails to become a source of distraction.

The letter read;

“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 also tweeted;

“It’s time to step aside. But I am with PO and the Obidients and the Presidential Campaigns till God gives us victory in Jesus Name.”
