Reactions as Labour Party’s Doyin Okupe flies same Jet with APC Governor
One of the top executive members of the 2023 Labour Party Presidential campaign council, Doyin Okupe, has explained why he recently flew with the Ogun State governor, Dapo Abiodun, of the All Progressives Congress (APC).
In a video circulating on social media, Okupe, who was Director-General of Obi’s Campaign, was seen disembarking from a jet with Abiodun.
His action reportedly gained traction on social media as some supporters of Obi alleged that he (Okupe) worked for Asiwaju Bola Tinubu of the APC in the election, while others claimed that he abandoned Obi after the election.
“Politics aside, I respect Doyin Okupe. He played his game clean and fair. Deceived Obi into the contest, made Obi to betray his day one mentor, and introduced LP as a third force to pave way for Tinubu Presidency.)” @SodiqTade) said.
But while reacting, Okupe said the governor is his cousin and they are related by blood. He said he had friends and family members across parties.
“Gov. Dapo Abiodun is my cousin. A blood relation. He was in my house 2 days ago with his wife, but I was in Lagos. I called him on his arrival home this evening to thank him for the visit. He then invited me to receive some investors at the new airport in our hometown, Iperu. I was glad to go,” he tweeted.
