…I’ll Expose Your Secrets-Jibrin
…Drop The Bombshell, Doguwa Dares Jibrin, Says, I am Not A political Parasite Like You
Two prominent members of the House of Representatives from Kano State, Hon. Alhassan Ado Doguwa and Hon. Abdulmumini Jibrin have been at each other’s throat over former Governor of the state, Senator Rabiu Musa Kwankwaso.
The political tango started few days ago when Doguwa, a former House leader and member of the All Progressives Congress (APC) reacted to a remark attributed to Hon. Jibrin, a member of the ruling NNPP in the state warning him against making complimentary remarks against the former governor and founder of the Kwankwasiya movement.
Doguwa in a statement on Sunday warned Jibrin saying that, he is not his political mate because he was a student in the 1990s when he (Doguwa) and his (Jibrin’s) political mentor, Kwankwaso won elections to the National Assembly.
He said, “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”.
However, in swift reaction through his Media aide, Sani Ibrahim Paki on Monday,Jibrin threatened to expose Doguwa saying that, if he reveals his secrets, he will be expelled from the APC.
He said, “I am not surprised that Alhassan choose the path of a comedian by reducing the matter to his usual petty talks and superiority complex. The response of Alhassan should be viewed within that confines by the public and dumped in the largest dustbin in history.
“I stand by my earlier statement and in addition to what I said in my earlier statement and for further clarity, I wish to add the following statements as responses to Alhassan.
“I am glad Hon Alhassan Doguwa partially heed my warning and responded to me NOT Kwankwaso. I had in my earlier statement challenged him to bring his attacks on me because I am his mate not Kwankwaso. For that response to me, he has confirmed I am indeed his mate not Kwankwaso.
“I say thank you to Alhassan for that and I assure him I have the agility to continue to tackle him. I urge him to take a moment of introspection and ask himself why Kwankwaso NEVER replied him. He will realise it’s simply because Kwankwaso understands he is not his mate! ”
“I once again advise Alhassan to respect his age. He should restrict his fights, insults and reckless statements within his party where he has fought and still fighting everyone. The fact is, Alhassan will be summarily expelled from his party if some of the leaders especially those in Abuja he is trying to impress get to know some of his utterances in private. Let’s keep a date with history”.
Responding to Jibrin’s threat in another statement on Tuesday, Doguwa dares Jibrin to expose his secrets as he threatened.
He said, “I challenge Abdulmumini Jibrin to drop any bombshell he has against me. I dare him not to spare or keep secret whatever he knows about my political conviction and or commitment to my party, the APC. I remain a loyal and sincere member of the ruling APC.
“I also believe and have faithful confidence in the leadership of our party. I admire and believe in the governmental policies and programs of our party. I am not a coward politician and cannot be intimidated or blackmailed by sweeping accusations or phantom threats.
“I am not a dependent or a political parasite like Abdulmumini, who cannot win an election without someone around him. He had always relied on the political structure of others to win elections.
“That was why in 2019 when the courts ordered a rerun election in his (Abdulmumini) constituency like mine, he could not return to the House of Representatives because he had nobody around him.
“He stood solo and lost out while I won my rerun election by Allah’s grace,” Doguwa, the House of Representatives leader in the 9th Assembly”.
