Ijaw national leader, Chief Edwin Clark, declared yesterday that Chairman of DAAR Communications, owners of African Independent Television (AIT), Chief Raymond Dokpesi, was unfit and improper to succeed Oghiadomhe as the chief of staff to the President.
Clark said categorically at a press conference at his Kiagbodo residence in Burutu Local Government Area of Delta State that Dokpesi was not a suitable choice as Jonathan’s chief of staff.
He claimed that the antecedents of Dokpesi as an allegedly treacherous character made him unsuitable for the strategically important position, stressing that he was opposed to the DAAR Communications boss being brought into the presidency as a replacement for the former deputy governor of Edo State, Oghiadomhe.
According to him, Dokpesi had, in the recent past, worked very closely with certain political opponents of Jonathan and as well played alleged infamous role in the activities of the South South Peoples Assembly (SSPA), warning that he could therefore not have had such sudden integrity-somersault to be entrusted with the position.
The Ijaw leader also said he has information allegedly linking the media guru to the notorious National Day, October 1, 2010 bombing at the Eagle Square, Abuja, which led to several fatalities.
Clark insisted that he has no personal interest in who succeeded Oghiadomhe but maintained that he was sufficiently knowledgeable about the antecedents of Dokpesi to declare him unsuitable for the job.
