The founder of
DAAR Communications Plc, Chief Raymond Dokpesi, has reacted angrily to the
money laundering charges preferred against him by the federal government.
Dokpesi, who is
seeking to become the next National Chairman of the Peoples Democratic Party,
PDP, spoke at the weekend, when his campaign train stopped at Osogbo, the
capital of Osun State.
Dokpesi, in his
remark, accused President Muhammadu Buhari of using the same tactics he used in
1983 when as military head of state, he “clamped down on the political class”.
His words: “Many
of these politicians were jailed 200 to 300 years by Buhari when he came on
board. The same thing is playing out today.
“What I am
accused of is like someone questioning a hotelier for accepting money from a
lodger. How could a hotelier determine the source of the money he is being paid
with.
“How will I know
source for media campaign of a party?
“I don’t want to
dwell much on the subject. The matter is before a competent court of law. At
the appropriate time, I will be vindicated.”
Dokpesi, however, promised to ensure that all interests within the PDP are united.

The High Chief
disclosed that if elected, he would review all reports of past reconciliatory
committees to stop the worrying issue of factions in the PDP.
He pledged
allegiance to the Ahmed Makarfi-led national leadership of the party, assuring
Osun party faithful that he would work to win the state for the PDP in the next
election to hold there.
