Chairman of the House of Representatives Committee on
Petroleum Resources (Upstream), Hon. Alhassan Ado Doguwa, has apologised to the
Osun chapter of the All Progressives
Congress (APC), saying he is the chief promoter of the party.The party
had, via a statement by the Osun APC spokesperson, Mr Kola Olabisi, on Monday
accused Doguwa of demarketing the party with his utterances at this year’s Ede
Day celebrations.Doguwa, who represents Doguwa/Tudun Wada Federal Constituency
of Kano State in the House of Representatives, represented the Speaker,
Tajudeen Abass, at the event last Saturday in Ede, where his statement was
twisted to demarket the APC in the state.
In his swift reaction, Doguwa said he remains the
chief promoter of the All Progressives Congress in all parts of the country as
a founding party member.He said the media team of the PDP in Osun State
deliberately quoted him out of context, but that will not stop APC from
reclaiming the state in the 2026 governorship election.
” I was quoted out of context. Honestly, the PDP media
team in Osun misused my jokes to attack our party, APC, in the context of their
local political tussles. It was indeed quite unfortunate; they used my innocent
comments to score cheap political gains,” he said.
Apologising to the party in Osun State, he said: ” I
wish to tender my sincere and unreserved apology to our APC family in Osun
State. Please accept my profound and heartfelt apologies. By God’s grace, the
days of the PDP are numbered in Osun State. In 2026, our party will bounce back
in the state, Insha Allah.” I will always remain a loyal and proud member of
the APC, the largest political party in Africa. As a founding member of the
APC, I’m the chief promoter of the party not only in Kano but across the country.”
I urge my APC compatriots in Osun to accept my apologies for what may have
appeared to be underlying comments or statements against my party. I never
meant to undermine or embarrass my mother’s party for any reason whatsoever.
Thank you.”
