The Islamic cleric Sheikh Aminu Ibrahim Daurawa has stated he will not campaign for any politician in the 2027 general elections. Daurawa, who serves as the Commandant-General of the Kano State Hisbah Board, made the declaration following his appointment to the All Progressives Congress (APC).
Daurawa’s decision comes after he was appointed to a key position within the APC. In a public statement, he emphasized his commitment to religious duties and stated that his role within the party does not include political campaigning. The statement was released through official channels of the Kano State Hisbah Board.
This marks a significant shift for Daurawa, who has previously been involved in public advocacy and community leadership. His appointment to the APC is seen as a strategic move to strengthen the party’s influence in Kano State. The decision to step back from political campaigning reflects a broader trend among religious leaders in Nigeria who are increasingly aligning with political parties while maintaining their religious roles.
The APC, a major political party in Nigeria, has been actively seeking support from influential figures to bolster its electoral prospects. Daurawa’s involvement is expected to provide the party with greater credibility in religious and community circles. His withdrawal from campaigning underscores the complex relationship between religious leadership and political engagement in the country.
