Alhassan Doguwa, chair of the house of representatives
committee on petroleum resources (downstream), says Rabiu Kwankwaso, national
leader of the New Nigeria Peoples Party (NNPP) lacks the morality to speak for
northerners.
Doguwa, who was reacting to comments made by Kwankwaso, said
the All Progressives Congress (APC) will win the 2027 elections in Kano state.
On Thursday, Kwankwaso welcomed numerous APC defectors in
Kano state to the NNPP.
Speaking at the event, Kwankwaso said only the NNPP can
rescue Nigeria from its current challenges.
“Nigerians and northerners in particular have suffered
enough and no amount of pressure, fear and deceit will prevent them from
changing the situation,” he said.
In a statement on Friday, Doguwa said Kwankwaso had not
recovered from the defeat he suffered during the 2023 presidential election.
The lawmaker said that the NNPP national leader was
“hallucinating” about what will happen in 2027 elections.

“Kwankwaso is yet to recover from the defeat he suffered at
the hands of President Bola Ahmed Tinubu during the 2023 presidential election.
Hence, he is hallucinating about 2027,” Doguwa said.
“Kwankwaso should stop the hallucinations and face his
imminent retirement from the political scene in 2027, he 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.”
Doguwa said Tinubu took over in May 2023 amidst a severely
struggling economy, adding that the president has “diligently” addressed
underlying fiscal issues to revamp the economy.

“Under President Tinubu, the country has attracted foreign
direct investments worth more than $30 billion in 16 months,” he said.
“Tinubu has paid a forex backlog of $7 billion and cleared
the ways and means of over N30 trillion he inherited from the last
administration.
“President Tinubu reduced the debt service ratio from 97 to
68 per cent and kept our foreign reserve at $37 billion.
“Only this week, the Economic Stabilisation Bills have been
transmitted to us in the National Assembly to stimulate our productive capacity
and create more jobs and prosperity in the country.”
He said the APC will unseat Abba Yusuf, governor of Kano
state and NNPP chieftain, in the next election.
“The disgruntled NNPP government has already lost focus and
fell out with the good people of Kano State,” Doguwa said.
“He (Kwankwaso] lacks
the morality to speak for the people of the North and his assertion was only a
whimsical statement applicable to himself.
“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.”
The lawmaker said Tinubu has achieved remarkable progress in
security, adding that his policies are yielding fruit and will soon bring
lasting economic relief.
