In reaction to the development, the spokesman of the Tinubu/Shettima campaign team, Festus Keyamo, said Dogara and his allies were not with the APC when the party won in 2019.

He said nothing has changed as the party chieftains only returned to their former camp.

“My very good and amiable friend and classmate Yakubu Dogara should have spared us all the drama. From PDP and back to PDP.

“Nothing has changed; no alteration of political permutations. They were not with us in 2019 when we won. Wishing them all the best, except victory in 2023”, Keyamo wrote his Twitter page.
