2023: Why I Have No Issue With Fulani As Buhari’s Successor – Dokpesi

Raymond Dokpesi has opened up on why he has no issues supporting Northern Fulani for the 2023 presidency despite eight years of the Muhammadu Buhari regime saying that a 2006 agreement of the Peoples Democratic Party, PDP provides for power shift to the North.

Rebuffing sentiments against a Fulani president, the Chairman Emeritus of DAAR Communications Plc, High Chief Raymond Dokpesi, said that Atiku Abubakar represents the best healing balm for the country.

He spoke when he led other Nigerians supporting Atiku’s 2023 presidential aspiration on a courtesy visit to the North-Central People’s Forum secretariat, in Abuja, on Tuesday.

Dokpesi while noting the attributes of Atiku said:

“We have set out the criteria, and have identified the issues, and said that the kind of leadership we need in this country must be a courageous, fair, tested and proven leadership with cognate experience in the management of the affairs of the conclusion, rightly or wrongly, that the person that has the quality to unite Nigeria at this point in time is Waziri Atiku Abubakar.

“We must put a square peg in a square hole. We must not allow some people who want to disintegrate this country to succeed,” he said.

Rebuffing arguments for power shift to the South, he said that despite eight years of the Buhari regime, he said that his support for northern presidency was in line with the PDP agreement during the party’s convention in 2006.

He said, “2023 is still the turn of the North based on the PDP agreement and calculation. The records of the PDP are there. Some people said why should we bring a Fulani man again, and I said have we not been living with Fulani people? I was brought up by a Fulani man, Bamanga Tukur,” Dokpesi said in his support of another Fulani president in 2023.

“Nigerians must unite and deal with element brought into the country for destabilisation. We are here to plead and cry to the leaders of North Central not to relent in their sacrifices for the country.”

Responding, the National Chairman of the North-Central People’s Forum, Arc. Gabriel Yakubu Aduku, said that stakeholders of the organisation would meet and take a common position on the matter.
