Former Director General of the Labour Party presidential campaign council, Doyin Okupe has apologized to his daughter, Moradeke Okupe for prioritizing Peter Obi, presidential candidate of the party, over her.
TheNewsGuru.com (TNG) reports Moradeke graduated from Hull University in the United Kingdom (UK) on Monday but Okupe was busy with Peter Obi at Chatham House where the presidential candidate reeled out his vision for policy and governance reforms in Nigeria.
“My darling daughter Moradeke Okupe graduated with a second degree today at Hull University. I love you so much Keke and I pray God will open new ways for you and bless you. Sorry I could not attend though I am in the UK because it coincided with Obi’s lecture. Politics is about sacrifice and commitment,” the former Labour Party PCC DG tweeted.

Recall that Okupe was DG of the Labour Party PCC until Akin Osuntokun took over after the former aide to former Presidents Olusegun Obasanjo and Goodluck Jonathan was convicted and sentenced for money laundering.
Subsequently, he was arrested by operatives of the Department of State Security (DSS) at the Murtala Mohammed Airport, Lagos on his way to London. Later, the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission (EFCC) clarified he was arrested in error.
