‘They asked me to beg before I’m given ticket’ – Dogara reveals main reason he left APC

Speaker of the House of Representatives, Yakubu Dogara has given his main reason for leaving the ruling All Progressives Congress(APC).

Dogara was on Thursday presented with the PDP House of Reps nomination form by his constituents.

According to him,  they urged him to relinquish membership of the ruling APC and he said their reasons were “blatant injustice and outright disregard for democratic principles being perpetrated within the party.”

However, he revealed that, those are not the only reasons. The Speaker wrote via Twitter that he left the party because they said he must beg before he would be given the party ticket to represent his constituency.

He wrote :

Dogara noted that he’s always honoured to represent his constituency but he shouldn’t be made to go through the indignation of having to beg before he gets the ticket.
