Dokpesi, at a time, had made a damning allegation through his popular AIT that Tinubu looted the Lagos State treasury in a documentary titled, “LION OF BOURDILON” but later retracted and apologised in a National newspaper when he was threatened with lawsuits.
Dokpesi in an interview at his 70th birthday said Tinubu was his childhood friend who would enjoy his supports in 2023.
Dokpesi said he would also canvass for the national leader of the APC for President in 2023 because they had been childhood friends.

He said,
“Let me tell you that Bola Ahmed Tinubu, before he became governor, when he was still in Mobil, you know the Headquarters of Mobil is just directly in front of my house in Lagos. As young men, we ate and drank together; we were close friends before he became governor.
“He is a philanthropist; he is kind-hearted. He is supportive of the ordinary person available, and he has brought about bringing hope to people. For 2023, I wish him the very best in whatever he puts his hands on. So, it has nothing to do with politics; it is a matter of the good relationship we have always had and I cherish it and I want to keep it.”
