The former governor had in addition to effortlessly winning the election for Kano Central Senatorial district, succeeded in swelling the number of votes that accrued to APC. The purported rejection by APC local council chairmen and endorsement of the governor’s aide is a sign that the Senator’s days in APC are numbered. Saraki is one of the prime movers that swung victory to the side of APC in 2015. It is most unlikely that Governor Abubakar would support Dogara’s political progression in APC. He is struggling for political space in APC with Governor Abdulaziz Yari.
