Labor Party May Replace Doyin Okupe As Presidential Campaign Dg.

There are indications that the Labor Party LP may replace Doyin Okupe as the Director-General of its 2023 Presidential Campaign Council after he was found guilty of receiving over 200 million Naira cash from former National Security Adviser NSA Sambo Dasuki by Justice Ijeoma Ojukwu of a Federal High Court in Abuja.

A top source within the party confirmed that talks are already ongoing to replace Okupe, with the decision to be jointly taken by all concerned including Okupe himself.

Although he declined to mention possible replacements, feelers have former presidential aide, Akin Oshuntokun as a front-runner to take Okupe’s position.

Reacting to the judgment through its Media Officer, Diran Onifade, the Labor Party Presidential Campaign Council PCC, confirmed that Okupe has paid a 13 million Naira fine handed to him by the court, adding that appealing the judgment is a personal decision Okupe and that the PCC cannot influence that.
