Doguwa to Jibrin: I’ll always choose peace over ambition | I’m APC’s pride in Kano


 Alhassan Doguwa, chair of the house of representatives committee on petroleum resources (downstream), he is the pride of the All Progressives Congress (APC) in Kano state.

 

Doguwa said this in a response to Abdulmumin Jibrin, a fellow lawmaker from Kano, who  described him as one of the obstacles of peace in Kano.

 

Jibrin, a member of the New Nigeria Peoples Party (NNPP), and Doguwa have been engaged in a war of words.

 

In a statement on Sunday, Doguwa said he will always choose peace over his political ambition.

 

 “Once again, I am compelled to respond to the poorly written lies by Abdulmumin Jibrin which seeks to belittle my political strength and contributions to my great party, the all progressives congress,” he said.

 

“In a statement credited to Jibrin, the lawmaker described me as an obstacle to peace in Kano state and a liability to the APC.

 

“I will always choose peace over my political ambition, which is not worth the blood of any human.

 

 “My peaceful nature and attitude can best be confirmed by my mutual relationship with my constituents, the traditional rulers, Ulammas and above all my timely support to the different security agents of the police, the military, Civil Defence and the local vigilante groups whom I support in many ways, such as distribution of operational vehicles, motorcycles, and other supportive materials and resources.”

 

Doguwa, a seventh term lawmaker, said he has maintained a clean track record as a parliamentarian.

 

“I have never been suspended or found wanting for over 33 years as a member of the house of representatives,” he said.

 

“Today, I am, with the highest sense of humility, the longest serving member in the entire country.

 

 “By the grace of Allah and the leadership of the 10th house of representatives under Rt. Hon. Abbas Tajudeen, I chair the house standing committee on petroleum resources (upstream), and special committee on crude oil theft.”

 

He asked Jibrin to present his achievements as a fourth term lawmaker in the lower chamber.
