The lawmaker representing Doguwa/Tudun Wada Federal Constituency and Majority Leader of the House of Representatives Alhassan Ado Doguwa has denied involvement in the alleged killing of 16 people during the course of the recent election.
Doguwa who has just been declared winner following the supplementary election, said the allegations levelled against him by his political detractors were aimed at painting him black in the eyes of the world.
Speaking to newsmen on Tuesday, he attributed his recent victory at the polls to the will of Allah who gives power to whom he wishes while he promised to carry everyone along.
“My political rivals went all out to hold my jugular and insist that I shouldn’t be elected to return to the House of Reps.
“They make sure that they painted me black through their malicious propaganda hate speech among others, and now Allah has ruled otherwise,” he said.
Doguwa who expressed strong conviction in the power of destiny said “I forgive all those who wronged me and would like to call on them to come forward and assist me in discharging my duties as a representative of the people.”
On his Speakership ambition, Doguwa said he would not be in a rush but if he is 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 Northwest and my colleagues give me all the necessary support, I will do as wished.
“However if they take it to another zone I will remain a loyal party man and forge ahead” he said.
