The fissure that occured few weeks ago in the Northern Christian Leaders took an unexpected turn on Friday as a faction controlled by the former Speaker of the House of Representatives, Yakubu Dogara, ditched the presidential candidate of the Labour Party and instead endorsed the presidential candidate of the Peoples Democratic Party, PDP, Atiku Abubakar.
This followed the adoption of the report of the technical committee led by a former Minority Leader of the House of Representatives, Mohammed Umara Kumalia, and Nunge Mele, a senior lawyer.
