Chairman of DAAR Communication, Chief Raymond Dokpesi, is not exactly a fan of the All Progressives Congress.

Being a chieftain of the Peoples Democratic Party and having a lawsuit from one of the party’s leader dangling over his head, it would be a pipe dream to expect Dokpesi to have flattering words to say about the APC.

On Thursday, July 30, Dokpesi described APC members as “self-styled progressives and capitalists lacking democratic credentials”.

He said this in Benin at the Edo State secretariat of the PDP, shortly after the inauguration of a 17 man Reconciliation and Mobilization Committee.

Dokpesi would also berate his party over their performance in the last election, saying: “As a family, let us tell ourselves the truth, the whole truth and nothing but the truth.”

“The PDP’s setback and current opposition status in the state is solely caused by PDP members. Our penchant for undermining well known democratic practices, lack of internal democracy, the crave for personal interests as against the general good of the party and the determined posturing of self before others, are to mention a few, the root causes of our political dilemma in the state.

“Let us look and search our individual and collective consciousness. The answer is inevitably that we are guilty as charged. Whether by association or dissolution, have each contributed to the misfortunes of the PDP in the state.”
