Media executive and chieftain of the ruling Peoples Democratic Party (PDP), Chief Raymond Dokpesi has denied reports stating he has plans to contest the chairmanship position of the party.

Despite denying reports linking him to the role of the party, the chairman of DAAR communications insisted that he remains a committed party man.

Dokpesi’s name and that of other prominent Nigerians from the SouthWest have been linked to the chairmanship position following a fall-out with the incumbent national chairman, Uche Secondus.

Secondus has been under pressure to resign even though his tenure ends in December.

The PDP chieftain was one of the contenders for the chairmanship position in 2017 but lost to Secondus after pulling 66 votes in the election.
