The immediate past Speaker of the House of Representatives, Yakubu Dogara has, again, decamped to the ruling All Progressives Congress (APC).
The Chairman of the APC Caretaker/Convention Planning Committee and Governor of Yobe State, Mai Malla Buni, disclosed this after the duo met on Friday with President Muhammadu Buhari at the Presidential Villa, Abuja.
Although Dogara declined to speak after the meeting, Mai Buni told journalists that the former Speaker “is now a member of APC.”
Dogara, a member of the opposition People’s Democratic Party (PDP) served as the 14th Speaker of the House of Representatives.
He currently represents Bogoro/Dass, Nigeria/Tafawa Balewa, Federal constituency of Bauchi State since 2007.
He was led to the president’s office in the state House by the Chairman of APC Caretaker/National Planning Committee and Governor of Yobe state, Mai Mala Buni, who intimated Buhari of the latest development in the party.
The former speaker did not speak when requested by State House correspondents, but Buni confirmed that he has become a member of the APC.
Dogara left the APC for the PDP in 2018.
