2027: Doguwa Unites Kano South APC for Election Battle
By Ahmad Tijjani Abdul
KANO — The Chairman of the House Committee on Downstream Petroleum, Alhassan Ado Doguwa, on Friday declared a new political alliance among previously divided APC stakeholders in Kano South, saying the party has closed ranks to confront the 2027 electoral battle with a united front.
Doguwa said the reconciliation had brought together influential political figures and rival camps in Tudun Wada and Doguwa, including ALGON Chairperson, Sa’adatu Salisu Soja, her husband, Salisu Yushau Soja, and other stakeholders who had agreed to subordinate their differences to the party’s collective interest.
The lawmaker made the declaration while distributing N25 million in financial support to APC supporters across three wards in Tudun Wada Local Government Area, alongside 10 tractors, sewing machines, motorcycles and cars as part of his constituency intervention.
He described the reconciliation as a significant breakthrough for the APC, insisting that the emerging unity would strengthen the party’s grassroots structure and improve its chances of winning elective positions across Kano South in 2027.
Doguwa, who is seeking re-election to the House of Representatives, warned against any attempt to sabotage the agreement, declaring that anyone who betrayed the collective decision would risk undermining his political future and the party’s electoral fortunes.
He said the reconciliation was not limited to securing his re-election but was designed to deliver victory for President Bola Ahmed Tinubu, Governor Abba Kabir Yusuf and Deputy Governor Murtala Sule Garo, as well as APC candidates for the Senate, House of Representatives and State Assembly.
Also speaking, Senator Mas’ud El-Jibrin Doguwa described the reconciliation as unprecedented in the political history of Kano South, expressing confidence that the new atmosphere of cooperation would position the APC to win all elective positions in the zone.
He cautioned that persistent disagreements and internal power struggles could undermine political achievements, stressing that meaningful development, whether infrastructural or otherwise, required unity and cooperation among party members.
