Doyin Okupe Reacts To Replacement As Peter Obi’s Campaign DG

Labour Party (LP) Chieftain, Doyin Okupe, has reacted to his replacement as the Director-General (DG) of the Obi-Datti presidential campaign council (PCC).

Naija News earlier reported that a former presidential aide, Akin Osuntokun, was named the new DG of the Labour Party Presidential Campaign Council.

Okupe resigned on his own accord last week after he was convicted by Justice Ijeoma Ojukwu of a Federal High Court in Abuja on December 19, 2022, for violating the Money Laundering Act.

The court said Okupe was guilty of receiving over N200 million cash from former National Security Adviser (NSA), Sambo Dasuki.

The court held that Okupe was guilty in counts 34, 35, 36, and 59 and sentenced him to two years imprisonment with an option of a fine.
