A Chieftain of the Peoples Democratic Party, PDP, and Chairmanship Aspirant of the party in the August 17, National Convention, Chief Raymond Dokpesi, on Thursday, July 28, boasted that the forthcoming PDP National Convention is unstoppable.
Dokpesi, who is a Right hand man to former President, Goodluck Jonathan, insisted that the former National Chairman of the party, Senator Ali Modu Sheriff, nor any other member of the Sheriff faction, can stop the forthcoming Port Harcourt National Convention of the party.
Recall, that Sheriff, Wale Oladapo (National Secretary), Dennis Alonge-Niyi (Deputy National Youth Leader), Alhaji Bashir Maidugu (Deputy National Legal Adviser), Mrs. Hanatu Ulam (Deputy National Women Leader), Alhaji Lawa Dutsima Anchi (Deputy National Auditor), and Chief Okey Nnadozie (Deputy National Organising Secretary), had gone to the Federal High Court in Abuja, seeking an injunction to stop the National Convention.
However, addressing reporters on Thursday at the PDP Secretariat along Abakaliki/Enugu Expressway, Ebonyi State, shortly after meeting with the State’s delegates to the proposed National Convention, Dokpesi, who is on a campaign tour of the 36 States of the federation and the FCT, accused Sheriff and members of his faction of manipulating the system with impunity and disrespect for the party’s rules and regulations, even as he denied any crisis in the PDP.
“I don’t think there is any crisis in PDP, and I don’t know of any faction in the party. A group of persons think they can manipulate the system. In the past, there was a lot of impunity, a lot of disrespect for party rules and regulations, and some people in the party are still living in that era and think they will disturb and distort the position of the party, but the party is united and 99.9% of the party faithfuls and party members are solidly behind the organisation of the Convention.“There is nothing they can do to stop the National Convention. There is nothing that those that are trying to stop the Convention will not try, but by the special grace of God, the wishes of the 99.9% members will definitely prevail and Convention will hold. No man can stop the Port Harcourt August 17 National Convention of our great party,’’ he said.
