Doyin Okupe, a popular politician and former presidential aide to ex-president Goodluck Jonathan has died.
His death was confirmed by the Okupe family.
The Octopus News reports that Okupe died at the age of 72.
The death of the former Senior Special Assistant (SSA) to Jonathan has been linked to cancer, marking the end of a long struggle with the illness.
Okupe was hospitalized in October 2023 with prostate cancer and was flown to Israel for treatment.
However, it was learned that his condition did not improve as expected.
Okupe, who previously served as the Director-General of Peter Obi’s Presidential Campaign, was forced to step down from the role following a court conviction for money laundering.
After the 2023 general election, Okupe resigned his membership in the Labour Party (LP) and became a vocal supporter of President Bola Tinubu’s administration.
