Former House of Representatives Speaker, Yakubu Dogara, has formally dumped the ruling All Progressives Congress (APC) for the opposition Peoples Democratic Party (PDP).

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.

His decision comes 48 hours after a group led by him, the Northern Leaders Consultative Forum adopted Atiku as the preferred presidential candidate for the 2023 election.

NewsClick Nigeria reports that the former Speaker has since been absorbed into the party’s presidential campaign council with ‘immediate effect.’
