Ex-convict, Doyin Okupe has resigned as Director General of the Peter Obi Presidential Campaign Organization.
The former aide to former President Goodluck Jonathan made this known Tuesday in a statement personally signed and addressed to Obi.
Stonix News reports that Mr Okupe was, on Monday, convicted by an Abuja Federal High Court of money laundering, bagging two years imprisonment with an option of fine which he immediately opted for.
He pleaded with Mr Obi to graciously appoint someone else to replace him to avoid further distraction from the antigraft agency.
“You will recall that I briefed you yesterday about my personal travails in seeking justice and clearing my name using the Nigerian Legal System to pursue same.
“I have invested too much in your campaign to allow my personal travails to become a source of distraction
“In the circumstances, I have opted to step aside and plead that you appoint a new Campaign DG who can continue the assignment with zero distractions:
“God bless you and family,” the statement read.
What's your reaction?
