Two days have passed since Mr. Dogara announced his support for Atiku, after which he was appointed as the PDP presidential campaign council member.
The lawmaker is one of the party's Christian leaders who have spoken out against the Muslim-Muslim ticket Bola Tinubu and his running mate Kashim Shettima, who are members of the ruling All Progressives Congress (APC).
Nigeria Breaking News Today: Dogara was chosen as a PDP presidential campaign council member.
Along with Mr. Dogara, other APC candidates have lost their support, including Babachir Lawal and Adamawa senator Elisha Abbo. In November, Mr. Lawal endorsed Peter Obi, the Labour Party's nominee for president.
He justified his backing of Mr. Obi with his statement. He said that Obi/Datti will give Nigerians fresh air and the most incredible opportunity to save the country from the quagmire a recurring group of self-centered reactionaries has plunged into it."
On the other hand, Mr. Dogara chose Atiku. His organization, the Northern Leaders Consultative Forum (NLCF), which is made up of Northern Christians, announced on Friday that it had endorsed Atiku after considering and adopting recommendations from a technical committee result.
According to reports, the PDP appears to meet all predetermined criteria. It asserted that despite not being immune to internal conflict like all the other political parties, the PDP has a nationalistic outlook. According to reports, the PDP appears to meet all predetermined criteria.
It asserted that despite not being immune to internal conflict like all the other political parties, the PDP has a nationalistic outlook. It is clear that the APC is on the path to collapse and extinction;
It cannot serve as the party for the present and the future due to its refusal to embrace inclusivity in a diverse nation like Nigeria. It stated that APC might not exist as a political party after the 2023 elections.
However, the group added that the endorsement is contingent upon receiving the necessary assurance from the party to lead an inclusive government. Details of this assurance will be discussed with the party leadership in the upcoming days.
