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 promised the 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 Kano state APC Campaign Project in 2027.

‘I vow to deliver victorious results in the gubernatorial and presidential elections before noon on the day of election,’ he said.

Doguwa, who is the Chairman, House of Representatives Committee on Petroleum (Upstream), also pledged selfless service to his constituents, 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 politic
al 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 expectation 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, Northern Regional Caucus of the 10th House of Representatives, said he will always prefer peace in the state over his political ambition.

‘My peaceful nature and attitude can best be confirmed by my religious and mutual relationship 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 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 records to put the matter to rest once and for all following ongoing disagreements between both Kano state lawmakers.

Doguwa is also the Chairman Special Committee on Crude Oil Theft and Pipelines Vandalisation in Nigeria.

He served as the Majority Leader of the 9th House of Reps and the Chief Whip of the 8th House.

Other positions held in the past assemblies include, Chairman of Special Committee on Petroleum Industry Bill, former Chairman Special Committee on New Naira Re-design, and Chairman Committee on Millennium Development Goals.
