2023 presidency: PDP chieftain reveals who can help lead party to victory, says no southern candidate can win
Meanwhile, Dokpesi, a chieftain of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP), had said no southern candidate can’t win the 2023 presidential election for his party.
Dokpesi made this assertion in an interview published on Saturday, October 9.
Asked if he was not supporting the call for the PDP to present a candidate from the southeast in 2023, the PDP chieftain said:
"There is no candidate from the southeast, even I dare say there is no candidate from the south that you put in the north today that will be able to win. It is going to be a humongous challenge."
Though he said no candidate from the southeast can win in 2023, Dokpesi said the region deserves the slot if the presidency is zoned to the southern region.
