Former presidential aide, Dr. Doyin Okupe is reportedly dead.
The prominent Nigerian politician passed away at the age of 72.
It was gathered that Dr. Okupe died on Friday morning after battling a protracted illness suspected to be cancer.
Okupe was in 2022 appointed as the Director-General of the Labour Party Presidential Campaign for the 2023 election.
He was, however, forced to step down following a court conviction over alleged money laundering.
According to sources close to the family, Okupe was critically ill in the weeks leading up to his demise.
