Dogara, alongside ex-senate President Bukola Saraki defected to the Peoples Democratic Party, PDP ahead of the 2019 generation elections as a result of crisis in the party at the time.

He later won back his seat into the House of Representatives, though much of him has not been heard since the ninth Assembly was sworn in.

Speaking to journalists after meeting with the president in Aso Villa, the Governor of Yobe state and Chairman of the Caretaker Committee of the APC, Mai Malla Buni said the reasons why Dogara and other aggrieved members left, are no longer existing in the ruling party.

He further stated that the former speaker has returned to where he truly belongs.

Buni said Dogara “is now a member of APC,” and has come to stay in the party to build it with the Committee who will ensure that other aggrieved members are reconciled back into the party.

The Kebbi helmsman said further on the visit to the Presidential Villa “We paid a courtesy call on the President in continuation with our efforts in rebuilding the party, we are here to see Mr President and brief him on the development.”

,” Well, they (Nigerians) shouldn’t be surprised because the former Speaker is a member of the APC. He is because the reason in which he left the APC is no longer there. He is back now.”

He said President Buhari “welcomed him, he is happy with the development, that is what he is looking for. We are rebuilding the party, and these are the steps we are taking towards rebuilding the party.”

The Yobe governor assured that all those who left the party ahead the 2019 election will be brought back to the party.

“We will do justice to all our members, that is what will bring peace, that is what will guarantee peaceful coexistence, that is what will guarantee the consolidation and rebuilding of the party. Without doing justice you cannot achieve that and we are sure of doing justice to all manner of our members,” he said.
