I have roles to play in 2027 Kano election – Doguwa tells Tinubu, APC

A federal lawmaker from Kano State, Alhassan Doguwa, has called on the All Progressives Congress (APC) to make him the director-general of the party’s 2027 campaigns in the state.

Doguwa vowed to deliver the APC in the 2027 elections.

He made the pledge in Abuja on Sunday, 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.

He 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 is the only member of the House of Representatives elected on 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 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.
