After reading the second paragraph of a rejoinder purportedly written by one innocent Nazir Auwal who is also based in Abuja and has not travel to Doguwa for quite some time, I couldn’t help but burst into laughter.
And knowing fully well the person behind the rejoinder is doing more harm than good to his people as people will definitely understand Hon. Alhassan Ado Doguwa is not ready to address the message, but resort to a frantic effort to tarnish the image of the messanger (writer of the article).
I trust writer might have been doing a hatch job of writing a ghost name to either tarnish the image of others or imply that what Doguwa was as innocent as a shadow.
Alhassan A. Bala quite ok is an Abuja-based Burjian as I was born and had my primary, junior secondary schools in Burji before proceeding to Government College Tudun Wada Dankadai. I have been living for almost two decades in Abuja and currently the spokesman of Kano Youth Organization in Abuja (KAYOAB).
So saying I am a ghost shows your idol, whom I can say you will continue to “worship”, is not ready to accept his failure to carry all his constituents along in distribution of job opportunities and projects.
I will like the writer of the said rejoinder to go back and read the article very well with clean mind, as he mis-understands many issues raised, or, possibly, only decided to focus on the person not the message.
For example, I only said Burji is the second most populous town in Doguwa not Tudun Wada and Doguwa.
The writer claims Doguwa provided potable water to Burji which I can categorically said it is a lie from the fit of hell.
The said writer of the rejoinder wanted to claim that the federal lawmaker built higher percentage of classes in Government Secondary School, Burji, which I can say it is not true. Incidentally, he mentioned our father, late Dr. Lawal Sani Burji who was the one who did the work of the school to reach the level it is which the writer claims Doguwa did in Burji.
When will Doguwa stop selective spread of federal opportunities to constituents?
On the late Lawal appointment as Special adviser to Doguwa it was not permanent appointment as claimed by the writer.
Despite the fact that late Lawal was among those that contributed immensely to the success of Doguwa in all his tenures.
I just don’t want to write much this time around reason; the writer didn’t address the issue rather beating around the bush claiming and taking ownership of some projects done by others to his idol.
I still want to challenge the writer and Alhassan Ado Doguwa to bring out just two names of Burjians that he gave permanent and pensionable jobs.
I will not conclude without mentioning that the writer wanted to involve someone who has nothing to do with my earlier write-up, – Badamasi S. Burji, who, through his personal, hard-earned resources, I can say, has done more good work and people benefited from him than the so called Majority Leader of the House of Representatives Alhassan Ado Doguwa. How many people even benefited from Doguwa in the entire constituency, aside his political associate, foot soldiers?
As I always like to end my article, I will say those that read my earlier article will understand the truth so the rejoinder is akin to a Hausa saying: “idan mafadin magana wawane majiyinta ai ba wawabane,” (literally put thus: if a speaker is careless, the listner isn’t).
