Former Speaker of the House of Representatives, Yakubu Dogara has been appointed as a member of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) Presidential Campaign Council.
The appointment was contained in a statement by the Director General of the Campaign Council, Sokoto State Governor Aminu Tambuwal on Sunday.
Tambuwal said the appointment was made to accelerate victory of the Presidential Candidate, Atiku Abubakar.
“This is part of our continuous effect in joining hands with our Presidential Candidate, H.E. Atiku Abubakar, GCON (Waziri Adamawa) to RECOVER our Great Country, Nigeria.”
Dogara recently endorsed the candidacy of Atiku Abubakar after he expressed grief with the Muslim-Muslim ticket of the All Progressives Congress (APC)even when the candidate, Ahmed Tinubu explained that he would be president for both Christians and Moslems if elected.
His support for Atiku has raised dust from the All Progressives Congress APC and the Labour party who see his action as parochial.
