Former Minister of Aviation, Mr. Femi Fani-Kayode has described Chairman of DAAR Communications, Chief Raymond Dokpesi’s recent public apology as unnecessary.
On Tuesday, Dokpesi apologised to Nigerians on behalf of the Peoples Democratic Party saying the party shouldn’t have fielded former President Goodluck Jonathan as its candidate during the 2015 presidential election.
Dokpesi said “We are aware that there were errors we made. We admit that we made mistakes and we have not met the expectation of Nigerians and we tender unreserved apologies for these mistakes.
“You must have seen the Ike Ekweremadu report on why we are apologising. There was no internal democracy, there was impunity within the party and there was no level-playing ground for members of the party.
“Zoning principles of the party were abandoned and a gamut of all other issues, which will come out during the conference and for all these and the people who have been offended, for people whose toes were stepped upon, we also tender unreserved apology.
“These are the reasons why we are begging and apologising. We want to assure every founding member of the party that we deviated from their visions, and that’s why we are going to have all our founding fathers like Adamu Ciroma, Dr. Alex Ekwueme and other members of the G.34, to come and talk to us at the conference.
“For every and any mistake we have made, I therefore say, we tender our unreserved apologies.”
Fani Kayode in a tweet said “It was not a mistake for PDP to field Jonathan in the last election and neither is an apology for doing so appropriate or necessary.”
80% PDP members are corrupts and looters from generation to generations and since independence are the same set people or family members in PDP. Shame on you looters.
80% seems a bit low.
