The Director General of the Obi-Datti Campaign Organisation, Doyin Okpue, has resigned from the position.
He made this known in a tweet on Tuesday.
In a letter attached to the tweet, Okupe wrote, “Dear Peter, you will recall that I briefed you yesterday about my travails in seeking justice and clearing my name using the Nigerian Legal System to pursue same,” the letter read in part.
“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.”
Okupe’s resignation followed a judgement by the Federal High Court in Abuja which found him guilty of violating the money laundering act receiving over N200 million cash from former National Security Adviser (NSA), Sambo Dasuki.
