We’ll Miss Him - Labour Party Mourns Okupe

 

The Labour Party has mourned the death of its late Director-General of the party’s Presidential Campaign for the 2023 election, Doyin Okupe.

 

Recall that Okupe died on Friday.

 

The party described Okupe as an inspirational and charismatic leader who passed away at the age of 72 after after battling a protracted illness suspected to be cancer.

 

In a statement signed by Julius Abure, the national chairman of LP, Okupe’s active participation in the party during the 2023 presidential election exposed his inspirational and charismatic self as well as his statesmanship.

  

Abure said, “Certainly, Nigeria has lost an astute politician whose desire for a great nation was unquestionable. We believe that though he still has so much to offer this nation, but death has brutally forced him to write the last chapter of his life. As is often said, death is a necessary end that must come when it must come, for Doyin, it was time to bid him a tearful farewell.

“On behalf of the leadership and members of the Labour Party across the globe we commensurate with his immediate family, Ogun state government and Nigerians over his demise and I pray that God will offer him His bossom for a wel-deserved rest.,” Abure said.
