The AIT boss, in a meeting with members of the party in Ekiti state, said he will not step down for Chief Bode George.

According to the AIT boss’ media team, “High Chief Dokpesi is busy meeting the delegates and outlining his programmes for the reformation and rebuilding of the PDP. He is not considering stepping down for anyone as he is widely accepted by delegates across the country. He remains the candidate to beat.
