Zoning of PDP chairmanship to South-West unfortunate - Dokpesi

Chief Raymond‎ Dokpesi on Friday described as unfortunate, the decision of Peoples Democratic Party leaders from the South to zone the position of the party's national chairman to the South-West.
He said the action was a repeat of the same mistake that he said led the party to where it was today.‎
‎Dokpesi stated this in a statement by his Media Aide, Mr. Omor Bazuaye, in Abuja.
Dokpesi was also said to have taken his campaign to the North-West.
He was said to have told delegates in Kano to do the right thing by voting their conscience at the August 17 national convention in Port Harcourt, Rivers State.
‎"Leaders of the South met and decided to micro-zone to the South-West. These are the same things we did that brought the party to its knees," he was quoted as saying.
"I have come here pleading and begging that if I become National chairman it is me and you that would be chairman."
