The Osun State chapter of the All Progressives Congress (APC), had accused Doguwa of demarketing the party with his utterances at the Ede Day celebrations.
The Chairman of the House of Representatives Committee on Petroleum Resources (Upstream), Alhassan Ado Doguwa, has made a u-turn after being accused of praising the administration of Osun State govenror, Ademola Adeleke.
The Osun State chapter of the All Progressives Congress (APC), had accused Doguwa of demarketing the party with his utterances at the Ede Day celebrations.
The party had, via a statement signed by the Osun APC spokesperson, Mr Kola Olabisi, on Monday called for Doguwa’s probe.
Doguwa, who represents Doguwa/Tudun Wada Federal Constituency of Kano State in the House of Representatives, represented the Speaker, Tajudeen Abass, at the event held last Saturday in Ede, where his statement appeared to have offended the APC in the state.
In a statement on Tuesday, Doguwa said he was deliberately quoted him out of context, adding that this would not stop the 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, “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 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 said.”
