For over three years, he was a consistent voice defending the party’s interests and promoting unity through multiple media platforms, including radio, television, and print.

He was part of media teams for prominent political movements such as the late Shehu Musa Yar’Adua’s People’s Front (PF), the Social Democratic Party (SDP), the Democratic People’s Party (DPP) under Attahiru Bafarawa, and Governor Aminu Waziri Tambuwal’s administration.

He also contributed significantly to presidential campaigns including Obasanjo/Atiku (1999, 2003), Goodluck Jonathan/Namadi Sambo (2011), and Atiku Abubakar/Ifeanyi Okowa (2023).

Dingyadi, a seasoned journalist with over 20 years of experience, has worked with reputable media outlets such as Reporter/Nasiha, BBC Hausa, and several others within and outside Nigeria.
