The Commandant-General of Kano State Hisbah Board, Sheikh Aminu Ibrahim Daurawa, has said he is not a politician and will not campaign for any politician ahead of the 2027 general elections.
Daily Trust had reported that the cleric and the immediate past chairman of National Hajj Commission of Nigeria (NAHCON), Sheikh Abdullahi Saleh Pakistan, among other clerics, were named in the Kano APC Presidential and Gubernatorial Campaign Advisory Committee list.
The two clerics came under fire following the release of the list by the Kano State APC chairman, Hon. Umar Haruna Doguwa, with many observers condemning their inclusion.
But in a Facebook post in Hausa on Saturday, Daurawa said he only wishes success for whoever will uphold justice, show compassion for the poor and improve their lives.

Daurawa, “I am not a politician and I will not campaign for anyone. However, I hope that whoever will uphold justice, show compassion for the poor, defend their rights and work to improve their lives will be granted victory by Allah.
“May Allah grant us leaders who are truthful, trustworthy and God-faring, who will put the interest of the people above their personal interests. Amin, Ya Rabbal Alamen.”
Although Daurawa did not directly address his inclusion in the APC campaign advisory committee, his statement comes amid criticism of the involvement of religious leaders in partisan political activities ahead of the elections.
