The chairman, House of Representatives Committee on Petroleum (Upstream), Hon. Alhassan Ado Doguwa (APC, Kano), has said that he was not standing trial before any court of law in Nigeria, for alleged murder, culpable homicide or any politically instigated violence being speculated by his detractors and political enemies.
The former Leader of the House said this in a statement he personally signed on Thursday while responding to a statement credited to the member of the House representing Kiru/Bebeji Federal Constituency of Kano State, Hon. Abdulmumin Jibrin (NNPP, Kano) that Doguwa has never won a free and fair election, but rather emerged victorious by rigging and electoral violence, “leaving behind sorrow, tears and blood in his constituency.”
Doguwa, who’s the chairman, Northern Regional Caucus of the 10th House of Representatives, admitted that there was a crisis instigated by perpetual political losers in his constituency during the 2023 general election but he was not behind such crisis, instead, he was only made a victim.

He said, “the Police investigators arrested some of the hoodlums who have made personal confessions – they were mostly NNPP members. Some of them were even hired from Kano city to go to Tudun Wada to stop the unstoppable election of my humble self to the House of Representatives for the 7th time.
These indicted NNPP criminals were prosecuted by appropriate courts of law in Kano and were served different sentences.
“Federal High Court in Abuja delivered the recent and most exemplary judgement on enforcing my fundamental human rights as a free Nigerian citizen. It may interest Jibrin and his cohorts to know that the judgement even ordered the Kano State government and the Governor to pay me a cost of N25m as damages for unnecessarily harassing me and defaming my innocent character.
“I went through virtually all criminal investigations and judicial considerations at various levels and came out clean and victoriously innocent. Copies of such rigorous police investigations conducted by the highest police investigations authority in the land (the Force Criminal Investigation Department – FCID, Abuja) that cleared me are available for public scrutiny.
“For the information of Jibrin and his partners in crime, it was based on the police clearance that the Attorney General and Commissioner of Justice in Kano State acted and issued unmistakable and unambiguous legal advice that exonerated me from the alleged criminal charges.
“I therefore, wish to state on my honour and on Islamic moral conviction that the so-called crisis in my constituency was merely cooked and fabricated to throw a spanner in the works of what was perceived to be my life ambition in politics (to be the Speaker of the House of Representatives).”
The former Chief Whip of the House said he was awaiting the so-called bombshell Jibrin threatened to drop against him which would lead to his expulsion from the All Progressives Congress (APC).
Doguwa said his colleague Jibrin only derailed into “hallucinations, concoctions and black lies.”
Tracing the origin of their faceoff, Doguwa said: “As we all know, the genesis of these verbal altercations started when Jibrin, a political parasite and an electoral terrorist, warned me against responding to his “fictitious godfather”, Senator Rabiu Musa Kwankwaso, who disparaged the leadership of the APC and called us “Banzaye”, a Hausa word for stupid people, in a widely circulated video clip.”
Allegations of the killing of 7 hanging on Jibrin:
The Chairman Northern Regional Caucus of the 10th House of Representatives noted that allegations of the killing of seven supporters of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) are still hanging on Jibrin when he purportedly launched brutal attacks on the supporters of Kwankwaso and Abba Kabir Yusuf (Abba Gida Gida), who was then the governorship candidate of the PDP during a campaign to Bebeji through Kofa town.
”I swear in the name of Allah that Jibrin was alleged to have been the mastermind of that deadly and fatal attack campaign rally. Senator Kwankwaso was present at the rally as the then-leader of the PDP in Kano State. To this effect, I boldly state that Senator Rabiu Musa Kwankwaso is my eyewitness to this alleged political brigandage by Jibrin in 2019.

”Unfortunately, the said attacks allegedly left about 7 PDP supporters dead, several others injured, and 25 cars belonging to Kwankwaso’s supporters burnt down by Jibrin and his supporters (allegedly). This was during the 2019 general elections campaign. Allah is my witness; my erstwhile friend Kwankwaso and the entire people of Kano State are my living witnesses to this unfortunate act of Jibrin in his bid to win a 2 LGA election, and still could not win even with his alleged gruesome attacks; he helplessly lost out to the PDP candidate of Kwankwaso. Kwankwaso dealt with him at the polls, leaving him lingering on the streets.
”In fact, he was arrested alongside 70 of his partners in crime by the police. This was reported by all media outfits, quoting the spokesperson of the Kano Police Command, Abdallahi Haruna Kiyawa.
And till today, this case of gruesome murder and arson has not been conclusively investigated. Jibrin, you are a terror, an emperor of failure and an electoral terrorist in today’s Kano politics, of which you sincerely know you are even an alien.
