Adds: ‘There is fire on the mountain’
The All Progressives Congress (APC) may lose the presidential election in Kano in 2023 over the crisis rocking the party in the State, according to the Majority Leader of the House of Representatives, Alhassan Ado-Doguwa.
Ado-Doguwa raised the alarm at a press conference in Abuja on Friday.
The lawmaker, who is representing Doguwa/Tudun Wada Federal Constituency in Kano, observed that Governor Abdullahi Ganduje had left the APC structure in Kano in the hands of those who were disorganising the party.

According to him, while the governor has governed the state well administratively, those he left to manage the party have frustrated loyal members out of it.
He therefore called on the party leadership to look into the crisis and salvage the situation before it is too late.
“It is my hope and it is the hope of the APC people in Nigeria that Bola can be able to discharge his duties; that Bola can be able to consolidate the gains earlier laid down by President Muhammadu Buhari.
“I want to say today without any fear of contraction; without any fear of intimidation; without any fear of any quarter or any authority anywhere that there is fire on the mountain as far as the APC is concerned in Kano.
“There is fire on the mountain – I repeat, there is fire on the mountain. This is the right time to say it because we have been going through a silent crisis especially in the area of party administration and politicking with a lot of intrigues and exclusion of members.
“Management and administration of the party is being done exclusively by a few members of the party who are, by all standing, not supposed to handle what they are handling in the APC. I want to say for the purpose of clarification that I am talking about party politics in Kano; in our party, the APC,” Ado-Doguwa said.
