Doyin Okupe resigned from her position as campaign director-general for the Labour Party flagbearer on personal concerns, according to Yunusa Tanko, spokesman for the Obi-Datti Presidential Campaign Council.
In a telephone interview with Obasanjonews24 on Tuesday, Tanko revealed this.
He claims that Okupe thinks his interests pale in comparison to those of all “obedients” worldwide.
Doyin Okupe quit on his terms, he claims. He thinks that the “obedient movement” is more important than anything else. He has determined that the executive of the Labour Party will decide how to proceed.
His action, according to Obasanjonews24, occurred after the All Progressives Congress presidential campaign committee sought his immediate resignation on Tuesday.
A Federal High Court sitting in Abuja found the embattled director general of the Obi-Datti campaign guilty of violating the Money Laundering Act on Monday.
The LP leader was later given a two and a half-year prison term.
But the presiding court, Justice Ijeoma Ojukwu, gave the defendant the alternative of paying a fine of N500,000 for each of the 26 counts against him, which came to N13 million in total.
In order to meet the 4:30 p.m. deadline, the former senior special assistant to ex-President Goodluck Jonathan decided to pay a fine of N13 million.
