Dec. 21, 2022
The Labour Party (LP) on Wednesday endorsed the resignation of its Presidential Campaign Council (PCC) Director-General, Dr. Doyin Okupe from the party.
Peter Obi, Presidential Candidate of the party said this in a letter addressed to Okupe in Abuja, while acknowledging that he received his resignation letter.
Okupe had on Tuesday announced that he was quitting as the DG, campaign organisation of the party, following a judgment of a Federal High Court that convicted him of violating the Money Laundering Act.
“It is a decision which I respect.
“The story of the historic effort, which has galvanised millions of countrymen, particularly youths, cannot be complete without mentioning Okupe’s commitment, dedication, and the boundless energy he brought to bear.
“It is my sincere hope that the legal system would afford Okupe an opportunity to eventually clear his name,” he said. (NAN)
