Doyin Okupe, a former member of the Labour Party and close associate of Peter Obi, on Tuesday revealed that the party was merely a “special purpose vehicle” for their political ambitions.
Okupe, a self-proclaimed liberal democrat, while speaking during an interview on Arise TV, stated that he and Obi, a businessman and trader, never truly identified with the Labour Party’s leftist ideology.
“Peter Obi is not a labour person. He is not a leftist person, he is a trader, he is a businessman just like me. I am a liberal democrat, I believe in liberal democracy, I believe in free enterprise.
