The immediate past Commissioner for Water Resources in Kano State, Umar Haruna Doguwa, has emerged as the new state chairman of the All Progressives Congress (APC), following a keenly observed party congress in the state.
Doguwa’s emergence was confirmed after party delegates across the 44 local government areas participated in the congress, which was conducted to restructure and strengthen the party’s leadership at the state level. His appointment signals a fresh phase for the APC in Kano as it seeks to consolidate its internal structure and reposition itself within the state’s dynamic political environment.

A seasoned political figure, Doguwa previously served as Commissioner for Water Resources under the APC administration in Kano. During his tenure, he oversaw various initiatives aimed at improving water supply infrastructure and expanding access to potable water in parts of the state. His experience in governance and grassroots mobilisation is believed to have played a key role in securing the confidence of party stakeholders.

Party leaders and members described his emergence as a strategic decision intended to foster unity and stability within the APC fold.

Speaking after his emergence, Doguwa pledged to promote inclusiveness and transparency in running the affairs of the party. He assured members that his administration would focus on reconciliation, discipline and collective progress. According to him, the APC in Kano must remain united and focused in order to effectively serve the interests of its members and supporters.

He also called on party faithful to set aside personal differences and work towards strengthening the party’s presence across communities in the state. Emphasising the importance of grassroots engagement, Doguwa noted that rebuilding trust and expanding participation at ward and local government levels would be a key priority under his leadership.

Political observers view his emergence as significant, given Kano’s strategic importance in Nigeria’s political landscape. With Doguwa now at the helm of the party structure in the state, expectations are high that the APC will intensify efforts to consolidate its base and prepare for future political contests.

His appointment marks a new chapter for the APC in Kano, with party members hopeful that his leadership will usher in stability, unity and renewed momentum.
