Also in attendance were the national security adviser (NSA) to President Bola Tinubu, Mallam Nuhu Ribadu, immediate past governor of Delta State, Senator Ifeanyi Okowa, and the senator representing Edo North, Comrade Adams Oshiomhole.

Others are former minority leader of the House of Representatives, Hon Ndidi Elumelu, Senator Francis Alimikhena, former chief of staff to President Goodluck Jonathan, Mike Ogiadomhe, Senator Ben Obi, Chief Mike Ozekhome (SAN), the vice chairman South South of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) Chief Dan Orbih, representatives of the traditional institution, religious leaders, among others.

The funeral mass was held at the open field of St Peters Secondary School Agenebode, Etsako East local government area of Edo State while the interment was later held at his residence.

In his homily, the Bishop of Auchi Diocese, Most Rev Gabriel Dunia described Dokpesi as humility personified as displayed by one of the thieves that was crucified with Jesus Christ who pleaded that Jesus should remember him in paradise while the other was castigating him.

He said Dokpesi was also given to charity in his life time. “As the saying goes, charity covers a multitude of sin. He represented charity, he repented and came back to represent with his creator. We must return to God, we must use this occasion whoever we are to return to God. We must continue his charity work because the dead can no longer do charity because he said that even in his death, he will continue to do charity through his media.”

In his remarks, Shaibu said the late Dokpesi was a fearless politician who was not afraid to “speak truth to power.”

“Today in Nigeria and the African continent, you cannot talk of the media without mentioning Dokpesi.

“In the political space, he was a very bold, fearless and courageous person,” he added.
