BREAKING: ATIKU’S ALLY CHIEF RAYMOND DOKPESI HAS PASSED AWAY,

Raymond Dokpesi, a leader in the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) and the creator of DAAR Communications Ltd, has passed away.

At age 71, the media tycoon passed away in an Abuja hospital.

A family member verified to The Whistler that Dokpesi, a supporter of former vice president Atiku Abubakar, had passed away.

The unnamed family source claims that Dokpesi has been taking care of his health ever since having a stroke immediately after the last Ramadan fast.

According to the family source, Dokpesi was eventually started on occupational therapy to enhance his everyday activities through gym workouts.

According to the source, Dokpesi was electrocuted while performing one of his regular gym workouts, which caused a stroke and ultimately led to his death.

His family is anticipated to issue a statement soon announcing his passing.

Remember that after receiving a COVID-19 diagnosis, Raymond Dokpesi and his family were admitted to the University of Abuja Teaching Hospital in 2020. They did, however, live through the illness.

Dokpesi served as the Deputy Director-General of Technical and Systems for the Atiku Abubakar Presidential Campaign Council and launched Raypower FM and African Independent Television (AIT).
