APC Crisis: Tinubu risks losing Kano, says Ado-Doguwa
The Majority Leader of the House of Representatives, Alhassan Ado-Doguwa, has raised the alarm over the crisis rocking the All Progressives Congress in Kano State, warning that the ruling party may lose the presidential election in the state in 2023.
Ado-Doguwa, at a press conference in Abuja on Friday, 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.
The lawmaker, who is representing Doguwa/Tudun Wada Federal Constituency in Kano State, questioned the loyalty of a former commissioner for Local Government and Chieftaincy Affairs and deputy governorship candidate of the APC, Murtala Garo, an in-law to the presidential candidate of the opposition Peoples Democratic Party, ex-Vice-President Atiku Abubakar.
Ado-Doguwa said, “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.
Meanwhile, major political parties in the country have reacted to the opening of a fundraising website by the camp of the presidential flag bearer of the All Progressives Congress, Asiwaju Bola Tinubu.
The donation portal, which was christened bat-ksm.com, also contained the profiles of Tinubu and his running mate, Senator Kashim Shettima; campaign videos and updated press releases of events.

The development is coming barely four weeks after the presidential candidate of Labour Party, Peter Obi, opened a similar fundraising and campaign site.
Obi, who made the announcement in a tweet via his verified Twitter handle, encouraged his supporters to visit the official website for the Obi-Datti Campaign Organisation and make their financial commitment through the platform.
But the former Anambra State governor was largely trolled on social media for creating a site with the sole intention of begging Nigerians for donation, despite having a reputation for not giving ‘shishi.’ (not doling out money)
When contacted, the Director of Media and Publicity for APC Presidential Campaign Council, Bayo Onanuga, confirmed that the website was indeed created for the former Lagos governor’s campaign.
