One of the leading contenders for
the PDP National Chairmanship position in the forthcoming Saturday’s National
Convention of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP), Chief Raymond Dokpesi has
attributed the party’s loss in the 2015 presidential election to the arrogance
of the leaders of the party.
Dokpesi stated this while
addressing Akwa Ibom State delegates to the National Convention on Monday.
According to him, the former
ruling party made costly mistakes in the past by allowing arrogant leaders to
lead it at the national level.
Dokpesi lamented that, “today the
Party which we all boasted to be in power for 50 years is now in the minority
at all level of governance in the country.
“We are now in the minority in
Senate, minority in the House of Representative even in Governors’ Forum, we
are in the minority.
“The Party crashed because our
leaders became so proud, they felt they didn’t need the people but that it is
the people that need the leaders, so we crashed out”.
He said the party needs
rebranding, which he pledged to carry out, adding in the process of rebranding
we shouldn’t be sentimental.
Dokpesi insisting it was time for
the South South region of the count produce the Party’s National Chairman, said
“in the South South, Uche Secondu is aspiring along side my good self , agreed
,Secondu has experience but has unproductive experience which cannot lead the
Party at the National Level to any success.
“When he was the Interim National
Chairman, the Party lost most of its member because of monetization policy of
his political system in the Party at all levels.”
