Former aide to President Goodluck Jonathan, Doyin Okupe told a court in Abuja today that he is jobless.

He came to court to testify as a defence witness for Mr Olisa Metuh, the publicity secretary of the Peoples Democratic Party, facing trial for money laundering.

“I am unemployed’, Okupe, who was a senior special assistant on public affairs to Jonathan,  told the court when he was asked about the job he does for a living.

He said he used to be a medical doctor  and now he is a politician. He said it will be risky for him to practise medicine now having left it for a long time.
