Doyin Okupe, Director-General of the Labour Party Presidential Campaign Organisation, has resigned.
Okupe announced the decision via a Tweet on Tuesday evening.
His tweet read, “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.”
Okupe accompanied his tweet with a letter addressed to Peter Obi, the LP presidential candidate, detailing his “travails with the Nigerian Legal System”.
He was sentenced to two years imprisonment on Monday for money laundering, and paid a N13 million to avoid serving his jail term.
