The House of Representatives member for Doguwa/Tudun Wada Constituency, Alhassan Ado Doguwa, has appealed to Osun State All Progressives Congress (APC) over his comment in Ede.
Alhassan Doguwa said his statement at Ede Day celebration, on Saturday, where he represented the Speaker of the House, Tajudeen Abbas, was twisted by the People Democratic Party (PDP) media team to score political points.
Doguwa’s appeal was in response to a statement on Monday from Osun APC spokesperson, Mr Kola Olabisi, alleging that he demarketed the party at the Ede Day celebration.
The Chairman of the House of Representatives Committee on Petroleum Resources (Upstream), explained, “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,”
The Kano State lawmaker emphasized that he has been a loyal and proud member of the APC. He assured that the party would take over Osun State from PDP in 2026.
“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,” he added.
