Dr. Doyin Okupe, a former Senior Special Assistant to ex-President Goodluck Jonathan has broken his silence after a court convicted him of money laundering charges
He took to his Twitter account on Monday evening to declare that his enemies keep failing.
The embattled Labour Party chieftain was on Monday convicted of breaching the Money Laundering Act by a Federal High Court sitting in Abuja and was subsequently sentenced to two and a half years in prison or pay a fine of N13 million before 4:30pm yesterday. Okupe paid the fine before the deadline.

It was earlier reported that Justice Ijeoma Ojukwu, the presiding judge, gave Okupe an option of N500, 000 fine on each of the 26 count charges, totalling N13,000,000 for which he was found guilty in a suit filed by the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission of which Okupe was the first defendant.
Failure to pay the fine on all the charges he was found guilty of before the deadline, would have seen Okupe sent to the Kuje Correctional Centre.
Reacting in a tweet on Monday night, Okupe said his enemies keep failing.
He wrote,
“God is not man.
“The enemies have tried in so many ways but keep failing…Victory is of God.”
