APC will sweep forthcoming Kano LG polls – Doguwa

By Abdullahi Yusuf

Alhaji Alasan Ado Doguwa, member of the House of Representatives,representing Doguwa/Tudunwada Federal Constituency,Kano State, says his party, the APC,will sweep the forthcoming local government elections in the state.

The Kano State Independent Electoral Commission (KANSIEC), has slated October 26,2024 for the conduct of Chairmanship and Councillorship elections in the state.

Doguwa made the remark while addressing his supporters at his house in Kano on Sunday.

“Some of the reasons why we are confident in winning the Local Government elections, are that KANSIEC has no personal ballot boxes to use for voting purposes and that the voter lists they are relying on are those documented by the INEC.

“Therefore, since everything about the elections is not personal to the State Electoral Commission and the police who will be neutral and other security agencies are not controlled by the state, we are confident that we will win the election,”he said.

According to him, most of the people in the 44 local government areas of the state are looking up to the APC to salvage them from their present unfortunate living conditions.

“So,we are going to win 40, if not all the 44 local governments during the forthcoming elections,”the lawmaker said.

Doguwa, who is also the Chairman House Committee on Downstream Petroleum, therefore urged APC supporter’s in the state to conduct themselves peacefully before, during and after the polls

“You should ignore provocations and concentrate on campaigning, highlighting issues not personal vendetta, attacks and slanderous statements.Show them that you are politically in charge and don’t allow them to distract you,” he charged the supporters.
