PDP confirms Dogara’s return

The Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) has confirmed the return of the Speaker of the House of Representatives, Yakubu Dogara, to its fold.

Dogara had last week received the PDP nomination and expression of interest forms brought to him by some of his constituents.

He accepted the forms but did not however officially confirm his defection from the ruling All Progressives Congress (APC.

But the PDP has now confirmed his return.

National Publicity Secretary of the party, Kola Ologbondiyan, made this known in a statement in Abuja on Sunday.

He said, ” Dogara’s move is reflective of the wishes and aspiration of his larger constituency and in tandem with the determination of Nigerians across board to rally on the platform of the repositioned PDP to vote out the incompetent, divisive and corrupt APC administration, which has caused untold harm to our nation in the last three years.

“Dogara has continued to conduct the affairs of the House of Representatives with the highest level of commitment, resulting in a very productive legislature under his leadership, despite the unmitigated efforts by the Buhari Presidency and the APC to distract him.

“Furthermore, the return of Dogara and other leaders who had earlier left our fold is a clear testament that the issues that led to their exit in the first place have all been addressed under the repositioned and rebranded PDP.”
