Former media aide to Former Presidents Olusegun Obasanjo and Goodluck Jonathan, Doyin Okupe, has d!ed.

He d!ed in a hospital in Victoria Island in Lagos state on Friday, March 7. He was 72 years old.

According to family sources, Dr. Okupe had been critically ill in the weeks leading up to his demise. He suffered remission of cancer and sadly lost the battle this morning.

May his soul rest in peace, Amen.
