The ruling All Progressives Congress, APC, has reacted to
the move by the former Speaker of the House of Representatives, Yakubu Dogara
and other members of the Northern Leaders Consultative Forum to dump the
party’s presidential candidate, Bola Tinubu.
Some members of the northern group earlier fell out with the
ruling party following its choice of vice presidential candidate, Kashim
Shettima.
Dogara and his allies who are Christians had antagonized
Tinubu’s decision to field Muslim-Muslim ticket for the February 2023
presidential election.
After being silent for a long time, the northern group
yesterday endorsed the presidential candidate of the Peoples Democratic Party,
PDP, Atiku Abubakar.
Reacting to the development, the spokesman of
Tinubu/Shettima campaign team, Festus Keyamo, said Dogara was only backing his
former party, stressing that nothing has changed.
In a tweet on his official Twitter handle, Keyamo wrote, “My
very good and amiable friend and classmate Yakubu Dogara should have spared us
all the drama. From PDP and back to PDP.
“Nothing has changed; no alteration of political
permutations. They were not with us in 2019 when we won. Wishing them all the
best, except victory in 2023”
