The Labour Party presidential campaign council has said it
is yet to decide on the move by its Director General, Doyin Okupe to resign his
position.
Okupe had earlier tendered his resignation letter to the
party’s presidential flag bearer, Peter Obi following his conviction in court
over violation of money laundering act.
Recall that the Federal High Court sitting in Abuja on
Monday sentenced Okupe to two years in prison over the financial crime.
The campaign DG said on Tuesday in his resignation letter
that it was time to step aside but said his support for Obi would continue
until victory is attained in 2023.
But the Chief spokesperson of the campaign council, Tanko
Yunusa in an interview with Channels TV, said the council would meet before
making any pronouncement on Okupe’s resignation.
According to him, an individual cannot take such a decision
insisting that the council would meet and take a collective decision that would
be of the interest of all Nigerians.
He said, “We have not officially made any pronouncement in
regards to the resignation of Dr Doyin Okupe until when the campaign council
meet and take a decision on what to do and how to do it.
“So those particular news may probably be speculations until
the campaign council meets. We are not an independent people where one person
can take a decision. It will be a collective decision for the interest of the
Nigerian people”.
