Breaking News: Jonathan Appoints Owner Of AIT, Dokpesi As His New Chief Of Staff

President Goodluck has appointed Dr. Raymond Dokpesi of Daar Communications Ltd (AIT) as his new Chief of Staff.

Sources discloses to us that Chief Raymond Dokpesi replaces Mike Oghiadomen, who also resigned on Monday, yesterday as the Chief of Staff to the President.

Oghiadomhe, had turned in his resignation letter to the President on Monday afternoon, ending his sojourn as an occupant of a very strategic position in the presidency.

Both Dokpesi and Oghiadome hail from Edo State.

It is believed that the appointment of Dokpesi like most others made in recent times by President Goodluck Jonathan is targeted at smoothing the way for Jonathan’s re-election.

Dokpesi connections in the media, political and business circles are expected to come in handy as Jonathan seeks to burnish his heavily buffeted image ahead of the 2015 election .

Although, the Media Adviser to the President, Reuben Abati, said that the former chief of staff resigned to pursue his political ambition, but feelers from the seat of power suggest that he was forced to resign his from office.
