Doyin Okupe, the former director general of Obi/Datti campaign council has cleared the air on his recent outing with Governor Dapo Abiodun.
Okupe, a chieftain of the Labour Party, and Governor Abiodun were seen disembarking from a jet with the Ogun governor, Daily Trust reports.
Okupe’s appearance with Abiodun triggered some allegations and suspicion with a section of Peter Obi’s supporters claiming that he worked for Asiwaju Bola Tinubu of the All Progressives Congress (APC) in the last presidential election.
Speaking on the situation through a tweet on Thursday, March 16, Okupe said the governor is his cousin and they are related by blood, adding that he has friends and family members across parties.
His words:
“Gov. Dapo Abiodun is my cousin. A blood relation. He was at my house 2 days ago with his wife, but I was in Lagos.
