Okupe Steps Down as Obi-Datti Campaign DG

Doyin Okupe has resigned his position as the Director-general of the Labour Party (LP) presidential campaign council.

He announced his resignation in a letter addressed to Peter Obi, LP presidential candidate on Tuesday, December 20.

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 with you that you appoint a new campaign DG who can continue the assignment with zero distractions.

God bless you and family.
