You are a liability to PDP – Ohaneze tackles Dopkesi for saying a South Easterner can’t win presidency for PDP

Igbo Socio-cultural group, Ohanaeze Ndigbo, has expressed its disappointment following the statement Chairman of Daar Communications Limited, Chief Raymond Dokpesi made about the South East not winning the 2023 presidential election for the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP).


Dokpesi recently said: “The South East cannot win the election for the PDP.  That is just the truth of the matter. I don’t beat around the bush; I treat issues as they are and as I understand them. There is no candidate from the South East, even I dare say there is no candidate from the South that you put in the North today that will be able to win. It is going to be a humongous challenge.”

But Ohanaeze, have now responded through its National Publicity Secretary, Alex Ogbonnia, saying it is disheartening that Dokpesi, one of the leaders of the South-South People Assembly (SSPA) would see the entire south as an electoral liability to the PDP.

The statement read: “One can easily understand the psychological ambivalence in the Dokpesi persona. On the other hand, there is no reason for the condescension and disdain he handed over to the entire south. According to him, ‘even I dare say there is no candidate from the south that you put in the north today that will be able to win.’ In another development,  Dokpesi recalls his friendship with Chief Bola Ahmed Tinubu and his support for Tinubu’s presidential ambition. For the avoidance of doubt, several educated refined patriotic northerners are allergic to the supremacist born to rule entrepreneurs which has created the current Nigerian dilemma.

“All the 17 southern governors in their meetings have resolved on the need for a power shift to the south. The Governor Ifeanyi Ugwuanyi committee on zoning has declared that the national chairmanship of the  PDP should go to the north, while the Presidency should go to the south.


According to Ohanaeze there can never be peace in the absence of justice and that Nigeria would remain in crisis until its leaders embrace justice, equity and fairness as a guiding philosophy.

“It is therefore curious, the kind of appraisal parameters or kind of epitaph that the business mogul, Dr. Raymond Dokpesi, wishes to be remembered. In one sentence, Dokpesi proclaimed that “If we are the Nigerians, I want us to be, if we believe in the unity of Nigeria and we also believe in equity, justice, and fairness, there is no reason we should not give it to the South East if the slot is given to the south. In another breath, Dokpesi averred that ‘whoever emerges as the president of Nigeria would have to compensate the people of the South East if truly, we want the emergence of the new Nigeria.”


“Ohanaeze Ndigbo is dismayed that Dokpesi could demonstrate this type of duplicity in a matter that is so clearly defined. Dokpesi’s assumptions are unreflective, weird and unworthy. Any person who loves Nigeria should be an advocate of power rotation, especially between the north and south; and those our sons and daughters who lay claim to leadership should not, under any guise, give the impression that the south is a lame-duck, an electoral liability, and therefore must depend on the north to define the political trajectory of Nigeria.”
