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.
