Dr Doyin Okupe has resigned his position as the Director-General of the Labour Party Presidential Campaign.
In his letter of resignation addressed to the presidential candidate, Mr. Peter Obi, Okupe said he had invested so much in the campaign to allow his personal travails turn into an encumbrance.
He affirmed in his letter of resignation that he took the decision to enable him pursue his appeal against his conviction for violating the money laundering act.
He was convicted by a Federal High Court on Monday for accepting money above the threshold as prescribed by the Money Laundering Act.
