The Peter Obi Support Network has knocked the All Progressives Congress and the Peoples Democratic Party over the conviction of Dr Doyin Okupe, who is the Campaign Director of the presidential candidate of the Labour Party, Mr Peter Obi, by a Federal High Court sitting in Abuja for breaching the money laundering act.
“Almost everyone in the top echelon of the PDP and APC presidential campaign organisations is being investigated and standing trial for one serious financial crime that when you compare them with the offence for which Okupe was convicted you would know that it is just like comparing murderers on trial with someone who is convicted of a slight traffic offence.
“Whenever carry out a transaction that is above 150,000 naira in cash, you are apparently guilty of money laundering, because, by CBN’s cashless policy which was introduced by Sanusi Lamido as CBN governor, you shouldn’t have to carry any money that is more than 150,000 Naira. But, we all do that, all the time.
“This is why I do not agree with those who paint an image of Doyin as a common thief or one of the corrupt politicians. As long as this particular conviction is concerned, Doyin is merely an offender and not a criminal. He is just like someone who breached traffic lights and is fined for that.
