Okupe’s conviction will not demoralise me – Peter Obi

The Labour Party presidential candidate, Peter Obi has reacted to the conviction of the director-general of the party’s campaign council, Dr. Doyin Okupe, for money laundering by the Federal High Court, Abuja.

Justice Ijeoma Ojukwu had earlier on Monday sentenced the medical doctor-turned politician to a 52-year in prison following his conviction for money laundering and diversion of funds.

Okupe was arraigned on a 59-count charge of money laundering by the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission (EFCC) for accepting N204 million from the former National Security Adviser, Sambo Dasuki, in 2014.
