One of the chairmanship candidates of the
Peoples Democratic Party (PDP), Raymond Dokpesi, has vowed to rebuild
and reposition the party and lead it to power in 2019 if elected at the
party’s National Convention billed for August 17 in Port Harcourt, the
Rivers state capital.
Dokpesi gave the assurance when he took his campaign to Akwa Ibom state.
He said his records as a pioneer of
successful projects in the past rightly positioned him as the right man
to lead the rebuilding process of the PDP.
Dokpesis said “PDP remains the party that
was founded for all Nigerians. We started well but we missed it at a
point. We abandoned zoning principle and were far from the electorates;
we paid for it in 2015.
“It is proper to right the wrongs and start
from the foundation to restore the lost glory of the party. I have come
to solicit for your prayer, support and endorsement. My record puts me
in the right perspective to rebuild this party. I am a pioneer at
building and rebuilding. I pioneered the first shipping line in Africa
with the African Ocean line; we started private radio broadcast with
Raypower and you are all witness to what we have achieved with AIT”, he
said.
He said the transformation of Akwa Ibom
state by successive governments in the state is a testament of what PDP
is known for, describing the state as a reference point of good
governance in Nigeria.
The PDP state chairman, Obong Paul Ekpo,
who described him as an illustrious son of Nigeria, especially the South
South, assured him of their support and prayer, noting that the
delegates will decide the outcome of the convention.
“This is the beauty of the new PDP. The people will decide. You have
offered yourself to rebuild the party, we have heard you and the
delegates will do the right thing at the convention,” he said.
