Doyin Okupe Has Always Been PDP Member, We Expect Him To Defect – Labour Party

Dr. Doyin Okupe, a former presidential spokesman for ex-presidents, Olusegun Obasanjo and Goodluck Jonathan, is always a member of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP), the Labour Party (LP) has said.

This was made known by Mr Obiora Ifoh, the LP's National Publicity Secretary, while speaking to Daily Trust on Monday.

Recall that Okupe had announced his resignation from the party because he felt he had a different ideology from the party.

Reacting, Ifoh stated that even though LP has not yet received Okupe's resignation letter, he took the correct decision to leave the party.

Ifoh was quoted by Daily Trust as saying, “Yes, we received the letter from Dr. Doyin Okupe, tendering his resignation as a member of the Labour Party. We want to say that we wish him very well in his pursuit of his political career. We in the Labour Party cherish the moment we had with him.

“After a short time, December 2022, when he had cause to leave the campaign based on some legal issues, we thank him for the contributions he made when he was the chairman of the DG of the campaign.

“We wish him very well. We want to say that he is saying that he is leaving because he is a Liberal Democrat, while the Labour Party is a Social Democrat.

“It is also a good thing because he is not expected to be in a territory where his ideological bent will be confused or different. He has always been a PDP man, so the Labour Party expects that he will return to anywhere he wants to be.

“We wish him all the best in his future political pursuit. Though we saw the letter on social media but we have not received it officially,” Ifoh said.

SaharaReporters had also reported how Okupe in December 21, 2022 resigned as Peter Obi’s Campaign Director after he was convicted for money laundering. by a Federal High Court, in Abuja.

Following his conviction, Okupe paid N13 million after Justice Ijeoma Ojukwu declared him guilty of collecting over N200 million in cash from former National Security Adviser (NSA), Sambo Dasuki.

Okupe paid the N13m fine within a few hours of the court's deadline. Chief Akin Osuntokun took his place.
