December 20, (THEWILL) – The Director-General of the Obi-Datti Presidential Campaign Council, Doyin Okupe, has described his conviction by the Federal High Court, Abuja, as the handiwork of his enemies.
Okupe, in a statement on his official Twitter account, said his enemies have tried in so many ways but keep failing.
“God is not man. The enemies have tried in so many ways but kept on failing…Victory is of God”, he wrote.
THEWILL earlier reported that presiding judge of the Federal High Court, Maitama, Abuja, Justice Ijeoma Ojukwu, on Monday, sentenced Okupe to two years imprisonment or an option of N13 million fine on charges bordering on money laundering and criminal breach of trust to the tune of N702 million.
Okupe has since paid the N13 million fine, but the Labour Party presidential candidate, Peter Obi, said the development will not break his resolve to be Nigeria’s president.
“I am hearing about it (the conviction) just like you. I am still studying what is coming out of the court and everything. I believe in the rule of law. It is not going to demoralise me”, Obi said on Monday.
