Former Presidential Spokesperson Doyin Okupe Passes Away at 72

Dr. Doyin Okupe, a veteran politician, medical doctor, and former presidential spokesperson, has passed away at the age of 72. His death was confirmed on Friday, March 7, 2025.
Family sources revealed that Dr. Okupe had been battling a critical illness for several weeks before his demise. Reports indicate that he succumbed to cancer after a prolonged struggle with the disease.
Okupe was first diagnosed with prostate cancer 16 years ago and later battled sarcoma in his right shoulder. In October 2023, he was hospitalized due to complications from prostate cancer and was flown to Israel for treatment. Despite medical efforts, his health continued to decline.
In October 2024, he shared a testimony video where he spoke about overcoming cancer twice, attributing his recovery to his faith in the Bible and the power of Jesus Christ. He encouraged Christians to hold on to their faith in times of hardship.
Beyond his medical battles, Okupe was a key player in Nigerian politics. He served as a senior adviser to former President Goodluck Jonathan and played a pivotal role as the Director-General of Peter Obi’s 2023 Presidential Campaign. However, his political career was not without controversy. In December 2022, he resigned from Obi’s campaign after a money laundering conviction. Following the 2023 general elections, he also left the Labour Party and later became an outspoken supporter of President Bola Tinubu’s administration.
Dr. Okupe’s passing marks the end of an era in Nigerian politics. He will be remembered for his contributions to governance, his resilience in the face of health challenges, and his unwavering engagement in national political discourse.
