A member representing Doguwa/Tudun Wada Federal Constituency and Majority leader of the House of Representatives, Alhassan Ado Doguwa, has said that he has never killed a fly let alone kill 16 people as alleged by the opposition party.
He said all the allegations levelled against him by his political detractors were aimed at painting him black in the eyes of the world.
He attributed his recent victory at the poll to the will of Allah who gives power to whom He wishes.
Speaking to newsmen in Kano on Tuesday, Doguwa said he has passed through one of the most trying moments in his political history.
“My political rivals went all out to hold my jugular and insisted that I shouldn’t be elected to return to the House. They made sure that they painted me black through their malicious propaganda, hate speech among others and now Allah has ruled otherwise”
Doguwa said, “I forgive all those who wronged me and will like to call on them to come forward and assist me in discharging my duties as the representative of the people”
On his Speakership ambition, Doguwa said he would not be in a rush but if he was called upon to contest, he won’t hesitate to do so.
“The issue is with my party. Once the APC zones the Speakership post to the North-West and my colleagues give me all the necessary support, I will do as they wish. However, if they take it to another zone, I will remain a loyal party man and forge ahead”.
He said he would be ready to serve even as a messenger to the House if his colleagues felt the position would serve their collective interest.
He used the opportunity to thank the people of Doguwa and Tudun Wada for their steadfastness and the tumultuous support they accorded him to stage a comeback.
He thanked the President-elect, Bola Ahmed Tinubu, and the Kano State governor, Dr. Abdullahi Ganduje, for their acts of brotherhood and support to see him through all the bumpy traps set for him.
