Federal Lawmaker Vows to Deliver Kano State to APC in 2027
A prominent federal lawmaker from Kano State, Rep. Alhassan Doguwa, has pledged to ensure the All Progressives Congress (APC) wins the state in the 2027 general elections. Doguwa, who represents the Tudun-Wada/Doguwa Federal Constituency, made this declaration on Sunday in Abuja while responding to a claim by another lawmaker, Rep. Abdulmumini Jibrin, that he posed a threat to the APC’s electoral fortunes in Kano State.
According to Doguwa, he has requested the APC leadership to allow him to serve as the director-general of the party’s 2027 campaigns in the state. He emphasized that he is not a political liability, but rather an asset and a source of pride for the APC both in the state and the country.
The feud between Doguwa and Jibrin began when Jibrin accused Doguwa of being an obstacle to peace in Kano State. Jibrin, who represents the Kiru/Bebeji federal constituency on the platform of the New Nigerian People’s Party (NNPP), had described Doguwa as a political liability to his party.
Doguwa’s determination to deliver Kano State to the APC comes amid a backdrop of political rivalry and intense competition between the ruling party and the opposition in the state. The 2027 general elections are expected to be fiercely contested, with many politicians seeking to gain advantage and consolidate their political fortunes.
The News Agency of Nigeria (NAN) reports that Doguwa is the only member of the House of Representatives elected under the APC’s platform in Kano South Senatorial District. He serves as the chairman of the House Committee on Petroleum Resources (Upstream) and has been embroiled in a verbal attack with Jibrin over their differing political views.
In conclusion, Rep. Alhassan Doguwa’s vow to deliver Kano State to the APC in 2027 underscores the intensity of political competition in the state. As the country prepares for the general elections, political players will continue to engage in high-stakes battles to secure victory and maintain their political influence.
