My office was being run by the ONSA - Doyin Okupe

Senior Special Assistant to former President Goodluck Jonathan on Public Affairs, Mr. Doyin Okupe took to twitter to deny allegations that he received some funds form the $2.1 billion arms fund that was allegedly diverted into funding the 2015 elections for the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) but stated that his office was being run by the office of the National Security Adviser.His tweets below,

“I was not paid arms deal money. NSA paid for running of my office monthly from August 2012. Dasukigate was in 2014,”

“President is empowered by the Constitution to run his office as he deems fit. NSA is a staff of the president and subject to his orders. I did not take part in campaign. I was not involved in any aspect of the campaign. Neither was my office"

“However, I kept up with my duties as a principal aide of the president and continued media engagement and interface where necessary. I received no special funds for any programme or project connected with electioneering.”
