2027: Lawmaker Doguwa vows to secure victory for APC in Kano

Rep. Alhassan Doguwa, a federal lawmaker from Kano State, has vowed to secure victory for the All Progressives Congress (APC) in the 2027 general elections.

In a statement made in Abuja on Sunday, Doguwa addressed comments by fellow lawmaker Rep. Abdulmumini Jibrin, who had described him as a political liability to the party.

Jibrin stated that Doguwa posed a threat to the APC’s electoral prospects in Kano State.

Doguwa dismissed these allegations, asserting his commitment to ensuring the party’s success in the upcoming elections.

He expressed his desire to lead the party’s 2027 campaign efforts in the state, seeking to be appointed as the Director-General of the APC’s campaign team.

“I want to use this opportunity to respectfully request the leadership of our party to allow me to coordinate and serve as a D-G of the Kano State Campaign Project in 2027.

“I am not a political liability in Kano; I am an asset, a source of pride for the APC both in the state and the country, ” he said.

The News Agency of Nigeria (NAN) reports that Doguwa is the only member of the House of Representatives elected under the platform of the ruling APC in Kano South Senatorial District.

He represents Tudun-Wada/Doguwa Federal Constituency, and he is the Chairman of the House Committee on Petroleum Resources (Upstream),

He has been embroiled in a verbal attack with Jibrin, another lawmaker from Kano State who represents Kiru/Bebeji federal constituency on the platform of the New Nigerian People Party (NNPP).

Jibrin had earlier accused Doguwa of being an obstacle to peace in Kano State.
