Alhassan Doguwa, a House of Representatives member, has responded to former Kano State Governor Rabiu Kwankwaso’s criticisms of the All Progressives Congress government.
Doguwa dismissed Kwankwaso’s claim that Nigerians would reject the APC in 2027, calling it a “mere hallucination.”
Kwankwaso, speaking in Kano on Thursday while receiving APC defectors to the New Nigeria People’s Party, stated that Nigerians, particularly those in the North, would not tolerate the APC after 2027, emphasizing their dissatisfaction with the current administration.
“Nigerians are tired and cannot endure beyond 2027,” Kwankwaso remarked.
Doguwa, Chair of the Northern Regional Caucus of the 10th House of Representatives, responded by accusing Kwankwaso of still reeling from his 2023 presidential defeat to President Bola Tinubu.
Doguwa asserted that the APC-led government is working hard to improve Nigeria, and that Kwankwaso should prepare for political retirement.
“At a political gathering on Thursday, my colleague Kwankwaso took his hallucination to the moon when he said Nigerians are tired of the APC and will replace it by 2027.
“As we all know, President Bola Tinubu will stop at nothing to return our country to a path of progress and prosperity for the benefit of all,” Doguwa said in a statement on Friday.
He also chastised the NNPP for its “non-performance” in Kano, claiming that the APC is prepared to reclaim the state in the upcoming elections.
Doguwa also praised Tinubu’s accomplishments, which included attracting more than $30 billion in foreign direct investment, lowering the country’s debt service ratio, and combating insecurity in the North West.
“The onslaught against these bandits has already brought a breath of fresh air to the North West. “Our people are now returning to their farms,” he said, hailing Tinubu’s administration for its efforts to restore peace and rebuild the region.
