Obi reacts to Okupe’s resignation as Campaign DG

Labour Party (LP) presidential candidate Peter Obi has reacted to Doyin Okupe stepping aside as his campaign Director General, saying it is a decision which he respects.

In a letter addressed to Okupe on Wednesday, Obi expressed hope that the legal system will eventually afford him an opportunity to clear his name.

He also said Okupe’s commitment and dedication had been part of the driving force of his movement which has endeared millions of youths to the Party.

Okupe stepped aside from his position following a Federal High Court ruling which convicted him of receiving more than N200 million in cash from former national security advisor (NSA), Sambo Dasuki.
