Barely two weeks to the elections, the Speaker of the House of Representatives, Yakubu Dogara, has officially announced his defection from the All Progressives Congress (APC) to the PDP.

Speaker Dogara who returned to PDP in September 2018, officially informed his colleagues that he has joined the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) during plenary on Tuesday January 29th. He however did not give reasons for his defection.

He also announced the defection of two other APC members of the House to the PDP.

This is interesting, that means that all these while he was still in APC. APC can approach the courts and claim that Dogara was still their member and they are not officially aware that he had decamped and as such has no right to contest under PDP. Would really be interesting to see. If successful, PDP would have no candidate for that constituency.

nice one sir, this is a patriotic move
