Federal Lawmaker Vows to Deliver Kano State to APC in 2027 Elections

Alhassan Doguwa, a federal lawmaker from Kano State, has pledged to deliver the state to the All Progressives Congress (APC) in the 2027 general elections. Doguwa, who represents Tudun-Wada/Doguwa Federal Constituency, made the statement while responding to a claim by another lawmaker, Abdulmumini Jibrin, that he posed a threat to the electoral fortunes of the APC in the state.

According to Doguwa, he has been embroiled in a verbal attack with Jibrin, another lawmaker from Kano State who represents the Kiru/Bebeji federal constituency on the platform of the New Nigerian People’s Party. Jibrin had earlier accused Doguwa of being an obstacle to peace in Kano State.

In a statement, Doguwa said, "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."

Doguwa, who is the Chairman of the House Committee on Petroleum Resources (Upstream), added that he has been a loyal member of the APC and has worked tirelessly to promote the party’s interests in Kano State.

The News Agency of Nigeria 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.

The statement by Doguwa comes as the APC prepares for the 2027 general elections, and his vow to deliver Kano State to the party is seen as a significant boost to the party’s chances in the state.
