APC Mum As Doguwa Claims Tinubu, Party Leadership Halt e-registration In Kano

The All Progressives Congress (APC), has kept mum over claims by a former House of Representatives Leader, Alhassan Ado-Doguwa that President Bola Tinubu ordered the suspension of the commencement of the party’s membership electronic registration exercise in Kano state.

Doguwa who is the lawmaker representing Doguwa/Tudun Wada federal constituency of Kano state said this in a 27-second video widely circulated on social media over the weekend.

The chairman, House committee on Petroleum Resources (Upstream), in the video, claimed the decision was taken by the APC national leadership following directive from President Tinubu.

“The leadership of the APC at the national level, acting on the directive of President Bola Tinubu, has ordered that the commencement of the APC e-registration in Kano be stopped,” he said.

This is just as the Kano state Publicity Secretary of the APC, Hon. Ahmed Aruwa had disclosed that the party was set to flag off the e-registration exercise in the state.

“We are fully prepared for the commencement of the e-registration, and we are expecting our leader, Dr Abdullahi Umar Ganduje, to be in Kano for the official flag-off.

“The registration is part of efforts to strengthen the party’s structure and expand its membership base across the state,” Aruwa said.

Doguwa opined that the decision not unconnected with permutations that the Kano state governor, Abba Yusuf is set to join the ruling party.

“What will you do if Tinubu says he has accepted Abba? Well, today he accepted him.

“The plan was to start collecting the APC e-registration register tomorrow, but the President and the national leadership of the APC said to pause and wait until Abba officially defects, as he will be the first to collect the membership card,” the lawmaker said.

However, the APC national leadership had yet responded to enqiries about the development as the party’s national publicity secretary, Felix Morka did not replied to the message sent to his mobile line at the time of going to press.
