The recent support thrown to the 2023 presidential candidate of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP), Atiku Abubakar, by a former speaker of the House of Representatives appears to have rattled many Nigerian politicians.

Dogara, who is currently a card-carrying member of the ruling All Progressives Congress (APC) on Friday, December 2, announced his support and that of some northern Christian leaders for Atiku and the PDP. The former speaker of the House of Representatives said their support for the PDP flag bearer followed the decision of the APC, of which he is a member, to settle for a Muslim-Muslim ticket despite outcry by many Nigerians especially the northern Christians.

In reaction to Dogara’s endorsement of Atiku, the ObiDatti Media Campaign Organisation said the former speaker’s belief that Peter Obi will not win the 2023 presidential election is prejudiced.

The statement released on Sunday, December 4, as observed by freedom square tv team said Dogara has a fundamental right to choose who to support and nobody can hold that against him.
