Peter Obi Mourns Former Presidential Aide, Doyin Okupe

Former Governor of Anambra State and Labour Party (LP) presidential candidate in the 2023 presidential election, Peter Obi, has commiserated with the family of late Dr. Doyin Okupe.
Obi expressed deep sorrow over the passing of Okupe, a former presidential spokesman and key political figure.
Okupe, who previously served as the Director-General of Obi’s presidential campaign, d!ed in a Lagos hospital following a remission of cancer at the age of 72.
A renowned political strategist, Okupe held the role of Senior Special Assistant on Public Communications to former President Goodluck Jonathan. In 2024, he resigned from the LP, citing ideological differences, and later faced criticism for endorsing President Bola Tinubu’s economic policies.
Reacting to the news of Okupe’s death on Friday, Obi described Okupe as a passionate advocate for a better Nigeria.
“With great sadness this morning, I received the shocking news of the death of my dear elder brother, Dr. Doyin Okupe,” Obi wrote on his X handle. “His death is a profound loss – not only to his family and loved ones but to all of us. I would therefore like to urge members of the Obidient Movement and other groups to pray for the eternal repose of Dr. Okupe’s soul and to remember his family during these trying times.”
Obi prayed for Okupe’s eternal rest and offered condolences to his family, urging them to find strength in this difficult period.
