Kawu Peto Dukku (1958–2010) was elected Senator for the Gombe North constituency of Gombe State, Nigeria, taking office on 29 May 2007. He was a member of the People's Democratic Party (PDP).[1]

Dukku was born on 14 January 1958 and gained a Higher National Diploma in Business Administration.[1] He began his working career as a teacher. Later he joined the Goal Star Oil Company in Maiduguri.[2] He was elected to the Gombe State House of Assembly in 1999 and was reelected in 2003, when he was made speaker.[1]

After being elected to the Senate in 2007, Dukku was appointed deputy Chairman of the Senate committee on States and local governments.[1] He was also appointed a member of the Senate Committees on Aviation and Sports.[3] In a mid-term evaluation of Senators in May 2009, ThisDay noted that he had not sponsor any bills, but co-sponsored seven motions, contributed to debates in plenary and was active in committee work.[4] Another source described him as largely a quiet senator who rarely spoke at Senate plenary.[3] Dukku died in Kaduna after a brief illness on 2 April 2010.[1] He was survived by six children, three wives and an aged mother.[5]
