•As APC Campaign Council Reacts
Former Speaker of the House of Representatives Yakubu Dogara has led the Northern Leaders Consultative Forum to endorse the presidential candidate of the Peoples Democratic Party Atiku Abubakar and his running mate Ifeanyi Okowa.
The forum said its decision made public on Friday in Abuja was result of its technical committee set which reviewed the situation and advised the group.
The committee was led by Chief Simon Achuba, a former Deputy Governor of Kogi State.
In its assessment, the committee submitted that “It is evident that the All Progressives Congress (APC) is heading for implosion and extinction; hence, it cannot be the party for now and in the future, because of its rejection to embrace inclusiveness in a diverse country like Nigeria. After the 2023 elections, APC may be dead and buried as a political party,” the report reads.
“While the duo (NNPP and LP) may emerge as strong contenders in the political arena in the future, from all indications, PDP appears to be the best option to adopt and support.
All it takes is to sustain and tackle some of the problems and challenges this country is facing.

“Certainly, with proper consultations and inclusive appointments, which is mindful of the federal character principle with a sincere consideration of diverse issues such as religious affiliation, geographical location, and ethnic identity, which many believe will enhance justice, fairness and equity, after a careful evaluation of all the issues highlighted above, we hereby recommend the adoption of the PDP to all lovers of democracy in Nigeria for the 2023 presidential election.”
