Peter Obi mourns former campaign DG Doyin Okupe

Peter Obi the Presidential Candidate of the Labour Party in the 2023 election has sent out a tweet on X to mourn and acknowledge the passing away of his former director general in the 2023 election that saw a turnout like never witnessed before.

Doyin Okupe was the brain behind the LP catching that waves, and Edo State being the capital of the Obedient movement as a result of there involvement which is a direct effect of Doyin Okupe since he was from Edo State.

Though after the rigging of the election results which labour party obviously won, Doyin Okupe joined the incumbent for reasons best known to him, that move makes him unpopular among the Obedient family and Nigeria as a whole.

In his tweet Peter Obi expressed regret in the news of his death and most obedient family as well, as regret of his passing is widely expressed.

Peter Obi wrote, "With great sadness this morning, I received the shocking news of the death of my dear elder brother, Dr. Doyin Okupe. On behalf of the family and the Obidient family, I sincerely mourn his passing.

Dr. Okupe was an active figure in the nation’s political space and a man who desired a better Nigeria.

His death is a profound loss - not only to his family and loved ones but to all of us.

I would therefore like to urge members of the Obidient Movement and other groups to pray for the eternal repose of Dr. Okupe’s soul and to remember his family during these trying times.

May God Almighty, who called him home, grant him eternal rest and grant his family, and all of us, the fortitude to bear this sad and irreplaceable loss.

May God Almighty bless his family always. - PO".
