I received monthly payment from Dasuki – Doyin Okupe
Former Senior Special Assistant on Public Affairs to ex-President Goodluck Jonathan, Doyin Okupe, has admitted that his office received funds from the office of the former National Security Adviser, Sambo Dasuki, who is currently undergoing trial for corruption.
Mr. Okupe, however denied the funds he received were part of the $2.1 billion arms fund allegedly misappropriated by Mr. Dasuki.
He took to his official Twitter handle to clear the air.
“I was not paid arms deal money. The NSA paid for the running of my office monthly from August 2012. Dasukigate was in 2014. I did not take part in the campaign,” he tweeted in the early hours of Sunday.
“President is empowered by the Constitution to run his office as he deems fit. NSA is a staff of the president and subject to his orders,” he added.
