A chieftain of the All Progressives Congress, Alhassan Ado Doguwa, Chairman of the House of Representatives Committee on Petroleum Resources (Upstream), has boasted that the New Nigeria Peoples Party (NNPP) will be defeated in Kano before 1 p.m. on election day in 2027.
He stated this while speaking at an empowerment program organized by the Deputy President of the Senate, Barau I. Jibrin, in Kano on Sunday.
Doguwa expressed confidence in the unity of the All Progressives Congress (APC) in the state, stating that it would pave the way for the party to reclaim power.
“With the unity in our party now, by God’s grace, we will reclaim our mandate in Kano before 1 p.m. on election day in 2027. The NNPP will be defeated,” he said.
During the event, Deputy Senate President, Barau Jibrin also spoke on the empowerment initiative, which provided 1,037 motorcycles and 63 cars to APC leaders at ward and local levels.
According to him, the move was aimed at supporting party faithful and strengthening the grassroots.
“We decided to start with empowering our party leaders who are part and parcel of the society,” Barau stated.
“We know that members of the leadership of APC are well-to-do people because most of them are farmers and hardworking individuals. And that’s why we decided to empower them more so that they can live a happy life.”
He also praised President Bola Ahmed Tinubu’s initiatives, highlighting programs such as the Nigerian Education Loan Fund (NELFUND), which he said would help students in institutions like Bayero University access education more easily.
“The President has an array of programs designed for us,” Barau stated.
“You see what he is doing with NELFUND, students can now go to school. He has also created a commission to intervene, restructure, and improve infrastructure.”
The National Chairman of the APC, Dr Abdullahi Umar Ganduje, on his part, commended the economic reforms under the Tinubu administration. He said it is already yielding positive results.
“We have to thank Mr. President. We have to thank him for the reforms that he initiated. We have started seeing the positive results of the reforms in Nigeria today. The cost of petrol has started coming down, the prices of food items have started coming down, and the Naira has started appreciating. We assure you that Nigeria will be taken to the next level,” he said.
