PDP presidential candidate and former Vice President, Atiku Abubakar, was happy to receive Dogara at the nation’s commercial capital.

Meanwhile, Dogara has been appointed as a member of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) presidential campaign council (PCC).

The appointment was announced on Sunday by the director general of the PDP PCC and Governor of Sokoto State, Aminu Tambuwal.

The fresh appointment comes on the heels of the decision by Dogara to declare support for the PDP presidential candidate, Atiku Abubakar.

Dogara and other Northern Christian leaders in his camp who rejected the Muslim-Muslim ticket of the All Progressives Congress (APC) have revealed the candidate they’ll support for the 2023 presidential election.

The leaders, under the aegis of the Northern Leaders Consultative Forum, declared support for the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) candidate, Atiku Abubakar.

They revealed their decision on Friday at a media conference in Abuja.

Though Dogara is a member of the All Progressives Congress (APC), he openly rejected the decision of his party to field a Muslim-Muslim ticket of Asiwaju Bola Tinubu and Senator Kashim Shettima.
