Doguwa Asks Kwankwaso To Stop Insulting APC Leaders

The Chairman of the House of Representatives Committee on Petroleum Resources (Upstream), Ado Doguwa, has asked former Kano State Governor, Rabiu Musa Kwankwaso, to stop insulting leaders of the All Progressives Congress (APC).

Doguwa’s warning was contained in a statement he signed on Sunday.

He claimed the former governor and presidential candidate of the New Nigeria People’s Party (NNPP) is the grandfather of insults, in reaction to a warning by Rep Abdulmumin Jibrin Kofa (NNPP, Kiru/Bebeji Federal Constituency) over Kwankwaso.

“As a Muslim, well-cultured and nurtured, I respect Kwankwaso even though he was my colleague in the House of Representatives during the 3rd Republic.

“Abdulmumini is a poor student of history and, because he was in school in the 1990s, wouldn’t have known that I won my first election in 1992 like Kwankwaso, his political godfather.

“That Hon. Jibrin was never my mate and cannot match my sterling legislative experience, which dwarfs his in all forms. I have been in the House of Representatives since Jibrin was in school. I, therefore, expect him to respect me the way he wants me to respect his godfather, Kwankwaso.

“That he should stay clear in my political acrimony with an erstwhile colleague and, of course, my boss at some points in my political history. I agree that Kwankwaso held many political positions in the country, and I respect his personality as a leader, even in my state.

“However, Kwankwaso must also be advised to shun or desist from his present attitude of abusing or embarrassing our national leaders of APC, sometimes even making negative insinuations against His Excellency President Bola Ahmed Tinubu and making wrongful indictment against the APC Government.”
