Tribune On-line reported that Okupe resigned from the Labour Occasion (LP), citing ideological variations that emerged after the 2023 elections.
The celebration on Tuesday stated it questioned why Okupe would ascribe his resignation from the celebration as ideological when he knew ab initio that the Labour Occasion was leftist whereas he had sojourned with different ideological submissions of political celebration.
The assertion reads partly: “The management of the Labour Occasion like most Nigerians learn within the social media the purported resignation of the previous Director Common of our Presidential Marketing campaign Council, Dr. Doyin Okupe from the Labour Occasion.
“Ordinarily, we wouldn’t have responded however due to media attraction, it has been producing since yesterday.

“It’s throughout the rights of any Nigerian to affiliate with any political events of their alternative.

“Okupe is conscious that the Labour Occasion is ideologically rooted within the left of the centre and he admitted that he has been a rightist and a Liberal Democrat all his whole life, one wonders what he was searching for in a celebration that’s diametrically against his ideological leaning.
