TVC E. Raymond Dokpesi who is currently contending for the position of the national chairman of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP), has declared that he would get Atiku Abubakar, Nigeria’s former vice president, Bukola Saraki, the Senate president, and all those who left the party in anger to return if he wins at the forthcoming convention.
Not minding his age, he said he would kneel to beg the aggrieved former PDP chiefs if the needed opportunity arose. Many of the aggrieved former PDP members are now in the All Progressives Congress (APC) with some already enjoying political offices.
Dokpesi believes the PDP must provide a viable opposition to the ruling All Progressives Congress (APC). “We want to give strong opposition to this government because there is a lot hunger and poverty in the country and Nigerians are suffering,” he said.
“My ambition is for PDP to win 2019 and I am going to deploy massively for that to happen. For that reason I am going to bring back all those leaders who left and I hereby tender my unreserved apology to them to return.
“There will be level playing field for all candidates under my leadership.
“I am not an agent of anybody and I am not sponsored by anyone and I feel insulted to hear that someone is sponsoring me. But I have no commitment to anybody.
“I am ready to kneel down for those aggrieved to come back to the party in order for us to be victorious in 2019,” he said.
The convention will hold in Port Harcourt, Rivers state in the coming days and Dokpesi is slugging it out with top party figures including Chief Bode George, Jimi Agbaje, Cairo Ojougbo and others.
On Thursday, August 11, he warned that governors must stay away from the usual imposition that the party was known for as this could end the existence of the PDP if it happens again at the convention.
