A former Speaker of the House of Representatives, Yakubu
Dogara, has dumped the ruling All Progressives Congress for the Peoples
Democratic Party.
This comes barely 48 hours after Dogara and some aggrieved
northern APC leaders declared support for the presidential candidate of the
PDP, Atiku Abubakar.
This followed several months of political permutations as
the Northern Elders Consultative Forum, including the Christian leaders in the
All Progressives Congress in the North on Friday formally adopted Atiku.
According to them, Atiku was adopted following the resolve
of the Northern Christian leaders to work with their Muslim counterparts to
adopt one of the presidential candidates in a bid to defeat the same-faith
presidential ticket of the APC.
Dogara was received into the party during the presidential
campaign by the party’s presidential candidate and former Vice President, Atiku
Abubakar in the nation’s commercial capital, Lagos State.
