Doyin Okupe has resigned as the Director General of the Labour Party Presidential Campaign.
He conveyed his decision in a letter to his principal, the Presidential Candidate of the party, Peter Obi.
In the letter, he said his decision is to enable him pursue his corruption case in Court so as not to distract the campaign.
Okupe was on Monday convicted of breaching the Money Laundering Act by a Federal High Court sitting in Abuja and was subsequently sentenced to two and a half years in prison.
But the presiding judge, Justice Ijeoma Ojukwu, however gave an option of 500, 000 naira fine on each of the 26 count charges, totaling 13 million naira for which he was found guilty.
