Prior to his formal announcement, Dogara had returned to PDP and secured the House of Representative ticket to represent Bogoro/Das/Tafawa Balewa Federal constituency of Bauchi state.

“Subsequent to my defection, the Supreme Court declared that there was no faction in the PDP.
“The party has since rebranded itself in a credible and transparent manner it has been conducting its affairs.
“However, the APC which I joined has lost the confidence of my constituents and indeed the people of my State by the undemocratic manner it conducts its affairs.
“Space will not allow me to table the misgivings of my constituents and I have in the APC. Accordingly, this is to formally inform you that I have since gone back to the party under whose platform I was elected to the House, and which has articulated a clear programme to rescue Nigeria, that is the PDP”.
A section of the floor applauded the announcement shouting PDP.
