The Director General of the Labour Party Presidential Campaign, Doyin Okupe has resigned.
His decision is to enable him pursue his corruption case in Court.
He conveyed his decision in a letter to his principal, the Presidential Candidate of the party, Mr. Peter Obi.
Okupe says he does not want his personal travails to distract the Labour Party’s presidential campaign.
The letter reads: 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.
Announcing the development via his Twitter handle, Okupe wrote: “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”.
