Majority Leader of the House of Representatives, Alhassan Ado Doguwa, has won the National Assembly ticket of the All Progressives Congress (APC) in the 2023 general elections.
Doguwa representing Doguwa/Tudun Wada Federal Constituency of Kano State, won the party primaries held on Saturday to represent his constituency for the 7th time.
Doguwa made headlines some time ago when he attended his swearing-in into the National Assembly accompanied by his four wives while boasting of being powerful by having 27 children.
The lawmaker was a member of the House in the defunct Third Republic. He returned to the National Assembly in the Fourth Republic and has been a member ever since.
The House leader was first elected as member of the National Assembly in 1992 immediately after his National Youth Service (NYSC).
Speaking to journalists after his emergence as the APC candidate he said: “This is my 7th mandate, to run for the House of Reps unopposed, without any contention”.
The lawmaker appreciated the leaders and members of the APC in his constituency and Kano State in general for their support and belief in his ability to represent his people.
