2027: I’ll reclaim Kano for APC- Doguwa
Rep. Ado Doguwa (APC-Kano State) has pledged to reclaim Kano State for the All Progressive Congress (APC) and deliver in 2028.
This will be possible if he is appointed Director-General of the 2027 APC Campaign Project in the state.
In a statement on Sunday, Doguwa promisedthe leadership of the party to deliver the presidential and governorship seats.
“As a 7th term lawmaker, I am seizing the opportunity to urge the leadership of the APC to graciously allow me to coordinate and serve as a Director-General of the Kano State APC CampaignProject in 2027.
“I vow to deliver victorious results in the gubernatorial and presidential elections before noon on the day of the election," he said.
Doguwa, who is the Chairman of the House of Representatives Committee on Petroleum (Upstream), also pledged selfless service to his constituents, the APC and the NASS.
He said he had remained a strategic member of the APC, of the parliament, and a humble servant of his constituents.
According to him, he stands tall in the Kano state political space as the only member elected under the platform of the APC in the whole of Kano South Senatorial District.
Doguwa said that he is the only major threat to the New Nigeria People’s Party (NNPP) government in Kano State and to the National Leader of the party, Sen. Rabiu Kwankwaso.
He said that the NNPP government in Kano State had performed below expectations as it had done little to develop the economic and social wellbeing of the people of Kano State.
Doguwa refuted his colleague, Rep. Abdulmumin Jibrin (NNPC-Kano State), allegation that described him as “an obstacle to peace in Kano State and a liability to the APC.”.
Doguwa, who is also the Chairman of the Northern Regional Caucus of the 10th House of Representatives, said he will always prefer peace in the state over his political ambitions.
“My peaceful nature and attitude can best be confirmed by my religious and mutual relationships with my constituents and the traditional rulers.
“Above all my timely support to the different security agencies like the military, the Nigeria Security and Civil Defence Corps (NSCDC), and the local vigilante groups,.
“I support in many ways, such as the distribution of operational vehicles, motorcycles, and other supportive materials and resources.
“My simple response to the claim that I am a liability to the APC is that I am an asset, a source of pride, and a goldmine to the APC both in the state and in the country.
“In my parliamentary or legislative track records, I have never been found to be a traitor, mischievous, or disloyal to any of my principals.
“I have always served and discharged my legislative duties with due diligence and with all sense of humility, honesty, dedication, and utmost respect to my colleagues and my principals,” he said.
Doguwa added that he has never been suspended or found wanting for over 33 years as a member of the House of Representatives.
He dared Jibrin to present his track record to put the matter to rest once and for all following ongoing disagreements between both Kano state lawmakers.
Doguwa is also the Chairman of the of the Special Committee on Crude Oil Theft and Pipeline Vandalisation in Nigeria.
He served as the Majority Leader of the 9th House of Representatives and the Chief Whip of the 8th House.
Other positions held in past assemblies include Chairman of the Special Committee on Petroleum Industry Bill, former Chairman of the of the Special Committee on New Naira Re-design, and Chairman of the of the Committee on Millennium Development Goals.
