Doguwa, Bichi, Minister Mariya Bunkure, Chidari Lead APC Power Blitz as Kano Assembly Stormed for Garo Screening
By Ibrahim Yaro
The Kano State House of Assembly was on Thursday engulfed in an overwhelming show of political force as top-ranking figures of the All Progressives Congress (APC) stormed the complex in what observers described as a calculated power blitz in support of the screening of Hon. Murtala Sule Garo.
Leading the high-powered political charge was Alhassan Ado Doguwa, Chairman of the Northern Regional Caucus of the House of Representatives, who arrived with a strong contingent of federal lawmakers, setting the tone for what quickly evolved into a full-scale political convergence.
He was joined by Abubakar Kabir Abubakar (Bichi), alongside several other members of the House of Representatives, further reinforcing the national weight behind the exercise.
Adding executive backing to the political momentum was the Minister of State for the Federal Capital Territory, Mariya Mahmoud Bunkure, whose presence signaled federal-level interest and alignment with the unfolding developments.
Also commanding attention at the Assembly was former Speaker of the Kano State House of Assembly, Hon Hamisu Ibrahim Chidari, whose political influence and grassroots reach amplified the significance of the gathering.
The Assembly premises rapidly transformed into a battleground of political dominance, as APC stalwarts, party loyalists, and supporters flooded the venue in massive numbers, projecting a unified and formidable front in favour of Hon. Garo.
Political observers noted that the scale, coordination, and intensity of the turnout underscored a deliberate strategy by APC powerbrokers to assert control and demonstrate overwhelming backing for Garo at a critical moment in Kano’s political landscape.
What might have been a routine legislative screening quickly escalated into a defining political spectacle—one that showcased the depth of alliances, the reach of influence, and the readiness of the APC’s top hierarchy to deploy its full machinery.
As the screening proceedings unfolded under intense attention, the message from Kano was loud and unmistakable: the APC’s political structure remains deeply entrenched, highly mobilized, and firmly aligned behind its key actors.
For many analysts, Thursday’s dramatic convergence may mark a decisive turning point, not only for Murtala Garo, but for the broader configuration of power and political momentum in Kano State.
