President Bola Tinubu has extended his heartfelt condolences to the family, friends, and associates of Dr. Doyin Okupe, a medical doctor, politician, communicator, and strategist, who played a significant role in Nigeria’s political landscape.
Okupe was a prominent son of Iperu-Remo in Ogun State and had served as ex-President Goodluck Jonathan’s Senior Special Assistant on Public Affairs and ex-President Olusegun Obasanjo’s Special Assistant on Media.
He was also the National Publicity Secretary of the National Republican Convention (NRC) and played key roles in the United Nigeria Congress Party (UNCP), the People’s Democratic Party (PDP), and the Accord Party, which he led as national leader.
In his condolence message posted on X by Mr. Bayo Onanuga the Special Adviser to the President on Information and Strategy on Friday, Tinubu recalled Dr. Okupe as “a bold and articulate advocate for national development,” expressing deep sorrow over his passing.
“His wealth of experience and insight were still invaluable to the nation,” President Tinubu said.
He said: The President also commiserated with the government and people of Ogun State, particularly the Iperu-Remo community, who have lost an esteemed son and leader.
“He recognises Prince Okupe’s enduring impact on his home state and the deep void his passing leaves in the hearts of those who came in direct contact with him.
“President Tinubu prays that God will grant repose to the departed patriot’s soul and comfort all.”
Persecondnews also recalls that Okupe made notable contributions to the medical field as the co-founder of the Royal Cross Medical Centre, Lagos, and the publisher of Life Mirror, a health-focused newspaper.
