PDP Dribbles Dokpesi Out Of Chairmanship Ambition; Dokpesi Kicks

Dokpesi in trouble

The Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) may be heading to another major crisis as it has reportedly zoned the position of the national chairmanship to the South West, thereby technically knocking out Chief Raymond Dokpesi, who has been campaigning for the position in many parts of the country.
Chief Dokpeai has already reacted to the development, describing it as unfortunate, adding that it is a repeat of the same mistake that led the party to where it is today.‎
A statement by his media aide, Omor Bazuaye, quoted him as saying: “leaders of the South met and decided to micro-zone to the South West. These are the same things we did that brought the party to its knees.
“I have come here pleading and begging that if I become National Chairman it is me and you that would be chairman. I have been on the road in the last eight days, moving from armlet to armlet, soliciting for support, asking, pleading and begging the people to vote for me.
“They have received us well, warmed up strongly to our brand of populist democracy, which has returned power to choose their leaders to the people and it’s in the true spirit of our motto: ‘Power to the people.”
Dokpesi said that he has been emboldened by the massive support from the people and would be holding on to their words as he goes for the challenge in Port Harcourt, adding: “it is this assurances that I’ll hold on to as I transverse the length and breadth of the country.”
Dokpesi called on citizens to join in a campaign that is “bound to change the face of politics forever in the country.” [myad]
