The Majority Leader of the House of Representatives, Ado
Alhassan Doguwa who was reported to have engaged in a fight with Kano’s All
Peoples Congress deputy governor’s candidate, Murtala Sule Garo, has urged
Governor Abdullahi Umar Ganduje to take full charge of the party and save it
from those who want to destroy it if the party were to win at the 2023 general
elections.
There was a report of an exchange of blows between the House
Leader and the Deputy Governor candidate during a stakeholders meetings at the
home of the party’s gubernatorial candidate, Nasiru Yusuf Gawuna, on Sunday,
October 30, 2022.
While speaking to the media on Monday, October 31, Ado
Alhassan Doguwa, said: “I hold both Nasiru Yusuf Gawuna and Murtala Sule Garo
in high esteem and I always hope to see them becoming the Governor and Deputy
Governor of our dear State”.
Continuing, he said: “It is on records that there was
nowhere I ever disrespected Sule Garo or called him names, but on several
occasions, he has made a habit of plotting my downfalls, not once, not twice,
as has been shown recently when our party’s presidential candidate, Senator
Ahmad Bola Tinubu came to Kano”.
Doguwa added: “When Tinubu prepared to come to Kano I fixed
billboards, about ten at strategic locations, welcoming him, but on the night I
put up the boards, some hoodlums went berserk in the names of Garo destroying
everything. Despite that, I didn’t confront him or talk to him about it”.
As for reports that he attacked Murtala Sule Garo during a
meeting of the APC, he discarded it as “nothing but misleading and concocted
blackmail” against him because there was nothing like that.
“What happened was that I called the party chairman wanting
to see him, and he asked me to go to Gawuna House where they are meeting. Upon
arrival at the place in my Sardauna Rano regalia, I went straight to the room
where they were and spoke to the party chairman. However, as usual, Murtala
Sule Garo, in an insulting manner, asked me to leave. Even after I told him I
was there to see the Chairman, he continued insulting me until I was provoked
to respond,” he explained.
Garo, he claimed had rushed to hit him and in the process
fell over a table with a cup of tea and wounded himself.
“I did not in any way attack him as is being reported,” he
said.
Summing up the problems bedevilling the APC in the state,
Doguwa warned that it is high time Governor Ganduje agreed to take charge of
the party’s affairs otherwise the rifts may hamper the party’s chance at the
coming general elections.
