There Is Need To Rebuild, Re-brand And Rejuvenate PDP – Edwin Clark

Chief Raymond Dokpesi, the founder of Daar Communications, has increaed the number of ways he has planned toward winning the support of key PDP stakeholders in his ambition to become the party’s National Chairman.

Dokpesi visited Chief Edwin Clark, the Ijaw leader, former Niger Governor, Babangida Aliyu, and former FCT minister Ibrahim Bunu, at their residences in Abuja.

Clark, while receiving Dokpesi, described him as “courageous, transparent, fearless and the right man the PDP needs to move forward”.

“If 10 people want to be chairman in a local government, they should all be allowed to go for the election. That is how to do it,’’ Clark said.

Aliyu, who also endorsed Dokpesi, said that the PDP needed a leader like him rather than “those that will create negative image for the party’’.

“After 14 months of leadership crisis, there is the need to “rebuild, re-brand and rejuvenate the party,’’ he said.

On his part, Bunu said that PDP was responsible for its current woes.

“Borno PDP was made to remain in opposition for 18 years by PDP. The party’s members kept undermining its chances over the years,” he fumed.

“Supporting your ambition is not for our individual selves, but for the party. We want PDP to succeed. We want the values of the party’s founders sustained.

“If these values were sustained, we would not have been where we are today,” Bunu said.
