The Kano State chapter of the All Progressives Congress (APC) has reaffirmed its loyalty to President Bola Ahmed Tinubu, dismissing reports that it has withdrawn support for his second-term ambition.
In a statement dated April 17, 2026, and signed by its Publicity Secretary, Auwalu Abdullahi Soja, the party described as false a claim allegedly made by a group identified as the Arewa APC Forum, Kano State chapter, suggesting that support for the President had been withdrawn.
The APC said the report was misleading and a deliberate attempt to damage the party’s image, stressing that no recognised or constitutionally backed organ within its Kano structure had taken such a decision.
It maintained that the state chapter remains fully aligned with President Tinubu and his administration.
The party also raised concerns over what it described as attempts by certain individuals and unidentified groups to sow confusion and division within its ranks.
It emphasised that the so-called forum is not known within the party’s structure and does not reflect the position of APC members in Kano State.
Reaffirming its confidence in President Tinubu’s leadership, the party noted that his administration remains focused on governance, economic reforms, and national development.
Under the leadership of Umar Haruna Doguwa, the APC in Kano urged members and the public to disregard the claim, describing it as the handiwork of mischief-makers seeking to create unnecessary tension.
It added that the individual behind the alleged statement is unknown and not a recognised stakeholder within the party in the state.
