The Chairman of the House of Representatives Committee on Downtown Stream and Leader of the Northern Caucus in the Green Chamber, Alhassan Ado Doguwa, has said Northern Nigeria has a moral responsibility to support President Bola Ahmed Tinubu’s re-election bid and ensure the victory of other All Progressives Congress (APC) candidates.
Doguwa made the position known in a personally signed statement, describing support for Tinubu’s second-term ambition as a “moral political obligation” for the people of Northern Nigeria.
“Working for President Tinubu’s re-election is a moral political obligation on the people of Northern Nigeria,” he said.
The lawmaker urged Northerners to unite behind the President, arguing that collective support would help sustain peaceful coexistence across the country.

“We must rise individually and collectively to unconditionally vote for Sen. Bola Ahmed Tinubu for a second term for the continuous peaceful coexistence of our great country, Nigeria,” Doguwa said.
He spoke on Saturday when APC members, area supervisors and council advisers from Doguwa paid him a courtesy visit at his residence in Kaduna.
According to the lawmaker, the visit formed part of strategic preparations for the forthcoming general elections in his Doguwa/Tudun Wada Federal Constituency.
Doguwa expressed optimism that Tinubu would receive substantial support from Northern Nigeria in the next election, stressing the importance of the region’s votes to the President’s re-election campaign.

He also said the solidarity he receives daily suggests that the North remains supportive of Tinubu and other APC candidates, despite what he described as propaganda against the party.
The lawmaker’s remarks underscore the APC’s efforts to consolidate its support base in Northern Nigeria ahead of the forthcoming general elections.
