The former speaker of the House of Representatives , Hon Yakubu Dogara has pitched his camp to PDP and the candidature of Alhaji Atiku Abubakar, Wazirin Adamawa.<\/p>\n
\n
\n
Some political pundits have described his recent action as a means<\/p>\n
to boost his political ego and attract more sympathy from some christian folks, the Peoples Democratic Party. He has been appointed member of the PDP presidential campaign council.<\/p>\n
\n
\n
\nThis they see as not surprising because Dogara earlier had condemned the All Progressives Congress, APC muslim- muslim presidential ticket.<\/p>\n
He has now become a christian crusader, urging christians not to support and vote for APC.<\/p>\n
\n
\n
\n
His appointment was announced by\u00a0 Hon. Aminu Waziri Tambuwal, the Director General of the PDP presidential campaign organisation and governor of Sokoto state, Aminu Tambuwal, in a statement to the media.<\/p>\n
\n
\n
\n
\u00a0According to the PDP PCC, the appointment is part of the efforts to work for the victory of Atiku Abubakar, the presidential candidate of the PDP.<\/p>\n
\n
\n
\u201cThis is part of our continuous effect in joining hands with our Presidential Candidate, H.E. Atiku Abubakar, GCON (Waziri Adamawa)* to RECOVER our Great Country, Nigeria.\u201d<\/p>\n
\n
\n
\n
On several occasions, Bola Tinubu, the presidential candidate of the APC, had defended his decision to go for a fellow Muslim as running make.<\/p>\n

The former Lagos state governor reportedly told the Christian Association of Nigeria (CAN) that he did not Islamize his home, citing that his wife, Senator Oluremi Tinubu, is a pastor at the Redeem Christian Church of God.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
