APC Stakeholders Chide Dogara, Others, Say Atiku’s Endorsement, Self-serving

It said former Speaker of the House of Representatives, Yakubu Dogara, and other members of the forum were on a self-serving mission when they formally adopted the presidential candidate of the Peoples Democratic Party, Atiku Abubakar, as their candidate for the 2023 general election.

The Dogara-led Christian leaders had on Friday adopted Atiku as their presidential candidate, saying the decision followed the resolve of the northern Christian leaders to work with their Muslim counterparts to adopt one of the presidential candidates in a bid to defeat the same-faith presidential ticket of the APC.

But addressing a press conference in Abuja on Sunday, the Young Northern Professionals reminded the Christian leaders that it was the corruption under the PDP 16-year misrule that subjected Nigerians to untold hardship.
