Ditan Okupe, son of Dr. Doyin Okupe, former senior special assistant to former president Goodluck Jonathan, has declared support for President Muhammadu Buhari’s second term project.
Dr. Doyin Okupe, a member of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP), is an ardent supporter of Alhaji Atiku Abubakar for the 2019 presidency.
