Doyin Okupe, the head of the Labour Party's campaign for president in the election last month, has clarified his recent outing with Governor Dapo Abiodun of Ogun State.

One of the 11 governors running for reelection on Saturday is Abiodun, who is a member of the All Progressives Congress (APC).

In a video going viral on social media, Okupe, the director general of Obi's Campaign, can be seen getting off of a jet alongside Abiodun.

As some Obi supporters claimed that Okupe worked with Asiwaju Bola Tinubu of the APC in the election, the video caused shockwaves on social media.

On his official Twitter account, Okupe clarified that political rivals are not enemies but rather rivals in the marketplace.

"I don't play politics of enmity based on political differences. Political opponents are not enemies but Just competitors. Many PDP & APC chieftains are personal friends & long- standing associates. Femi Gbajabiamila was a special guest of honour at my book launch. His mum is my aunt", he posted.
