Former Speaker of the House of Representatives, Yakubu Dogara has been appointed a member of the Peoples Democratic Party Presidential Campaign Council.

Dogara’s appointment was announced in a statement by Sokoto State Governor and Director General of the campaign, Aminu Tambuwal.

The former Speaker had recently declared his support for Atiku after himself and other Christian leaders in the All Progressives Congress (APC) rejected the Muslim-Muslim ticket of the party.
