The Chairman of the House of Representatives Committee on Downstream Petroleum, Alhassan Ado Doguwa, has called on northern Nigerians to rally behind President Bola Ahmed Tinubu’s reelection bid in 2027. He described such support as a matter of justice and reciprocity.
Doguwa, who also heads the Northern Caucus in the House, argued that the region has a duty to back Tinubu because the South assisted the North in securing former President Muhammadu Buhari’s two terms. He emphasized that voting for Tinubu would be a fair and honest act, mirroring the South’s earlier solidarity.
In a statement released in Kano, the lawmaker appealed to his constituents in Tudun Wada/Doguwa who had left the All Progressives Congress (APC) to return. He promised renewed development and urged unity, saying he holds no grudges and views everyone as family.
Doguwa also praised Governor Abba Kabir Yusuf for his peaceful leadership and called on APC members and defectors to work together. He expressed pride in all party members and stressed the importance of collective effort for the party’s progress.
