Rep. Alhassan Doguwa tackles NNPP’s Kwankwaso ahead of 2027 election
By Oluwakemi Kindness
The Chairman of the House of Representatives Committee on Petroleum Resources (Upstream), Alhassan Ado-Doguwa has knocked the Presidential Candidate of the New Nigeria People’s Party (NNPP) in the 2023 general elections, Rabiu Musa-Kwankwaso, for his comment that Nigerians will vote out the All Progressives Congress (APC) in the 2027 polls.
Kwankwaso, had while speaking at a political gathering in Kano on Thursday, said Nigerians, especially Northerners, are tired of the APC and would change it in the 2027 Presidential election.
But reacting via a statement he personally signed on Friday, Doguwa said Kwankwaso has yet to recover from the defeat he suffered at the hands of President Bola Tinubu during the 2023 presidential election, hence, he is fantasizing about the 2027.
Doguwa, who represents Tudun Wada/ Doguwa Federal Constituency of Kano State, said Kwankwaso should stop the fantasies and face his imminent retirement from the political scene in 2027.
” At a political gathering on Thursday, my colleague in the House of Representatives in the 3rd Republic, Kwankwaso, took his hallucination to the moon when he said Nigerians are tired of APC and will change it in 2027. As we all know, President Bola Ahmed Tinubu is not leaving any stone unturned in his quest to return our country to the path of progress and prosperity for the benefit of all,” he said.
Doguwa, a ranking lawmaker in the House of Representatives, said President Tinubu took over the mantle of leadership in the country 16 months ago when the economy was in terrible shape in all spheres.
He expressed optimism that in a few months, the hardship being faced in the country will fizzle out as the president’s numerous interventions bear fruits.
He urged Kwankwaso to free and stop remote controlling the Kano State governor, Abba Kabir Yusuf, saying, “The disgruntled NNPP government has already lost focus and fell out with the good people of Kano State. No matter the noise Kwankwaso makes, the APC in Kano is already poised to unseat the kangaroo NNPP government in Kano State come 2027 following the non-performance, loss of people’s confidence and breach of electoral confidence of the NNPP.”
He also said that Kwankwaso lacks the morality to speak for the people of the North, adding that his assertion was only a whimsical statement applicable to himself.
