Doguwa apologizes to Osun APC, reaffirms loyalty to party

The Chairman of the House of Representatives Committee on Petroleum Resources (Upstream), Hon. Alhassan Ado Doguwa, has tendered an apology to the Osun State chapter of the All Progressives Congress (APC), emphasizing his role as a staunch promoter of the party nationwide.

The apology comes in response to a statement issued by Osun APC spokesperson, Mr. Kola Olabisi, accusing Doguwa of making remarks at the Ede Day celebrations that allegedly undermined the party’s image in the state.

Doguwa, who represents Doguwa/Tudun Wada Federal Constituency of Kano State, had attended the event on Saturday, representing Speaker Tajudeen Abass.

Reacting swiftly to the allegations, Doguwa clarified that his remarks were misconstrued by the Osun State PDP media team in an attempt to discredit him.

He reaffirmed his unwavering commitment to the APC, describing himself as a founding member and the party’s “chief promoter” across the nation.

” 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.”
