The apex Igbo socio-cultural group, Ohanaeze Ndigbo has tackled the Chairman emeritus of Daar Communications, Raymond Dokpesi over a recent comment he made about people of the South East.
Dokpesi had claimed that the South-East cannot win the 2023 presidential election for the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP).
In a recent interview, Dokpesi had said that the PDP cannot win the 2023 Presidency if its presidential candidate comes from the South East.
According to the PDP Board of Trustees member, only a Northern candidate can win the forthcoming presidential election for the main opposition party.
He added that there is no candidate from the Southeast and the South in general that will be able to win the top seat in the country for the PDP.

Reacting to Dokpesi’s comments, the apex Igbo socio-cultural organisation, Ohanaeze Ndigbo Worldwide, asked the PDP chieftain to keep his opinions to himself.
In a statement on Tuesday by its National Publicity Secretary, Chief Alex Ogbonnia, Ohanaeze expressed disappointment at Dokpesi for canvassing for a Northerner to succeed President Muhammadu Buhari in 2023.
The group accused Dokpesi of being loyal to the North, claiming that “northerners paid Dokpesi’s school fees and his allegiance is to the region.”
Ohanaeze, however, said it was a surprise that Dokpesi supports the north yet canvass for Tinubu because they are childhood friends.
