Finally, Peter Obi reacts to Dogara's declaration of support for Atiku, PDP
The ObiDatti campaign group described former speaker Yakubu Dogara's support for Atiku Abubakar as old testament politics
The organisation warned that the former speaker's effort to inject his old political tricks into the system to suit his selfish interest is not going to do him any good
According to the ObiDatti team, history will certainly place Dogara as a leader who turned his back on his people when they managed their best to rise up against injustice and oppression
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.
