The All Progressives Congress (APC) has debunked claims by the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) that a former Speaker of the House of Representatives, Yakubu Dogara, has defected to its fold.
The return of Dogara to APC was announced at the Presidential Villa, Abuja, on July 24, last year, after he met with President Muhammadu Buhari along with the chairman of the National Caretaker Committee of the APC, Governor Mai Mala Buni of Yobe State.
The defection of Dogara is being celebrated as one of the achievements of the committee.
Daily Trust reports that Dogara officially defected to PDP on January 29, 2019, in the build-up to the general elections. He won his re-election to represent Bogoro/Dass/Tafawa Balewa Federal constituency of Bauchi State on the PDP platform.
