Alhassan Doguwa, the majority leader in the House of Representatives, claims that with his four wives and 28 children, he possesses the temperament necessary to serve as speaker of the 10th House of Representatives.
Doguwa announced his intention to run for the position on Wednesday in Abuja, saying that those who mistook him for someone with a high level of temperament were mistaken.
The legislator emphasized that, to the best of his knowledge, he is a lowly and modest man.
Doguwa stated: “I am a low-level Nigerian and I will always present myself as such. For those who refer to me as a highly temperamental person, I want to say, by my judgment, my standard that they misperceive me.
“The man who has four wives and 28 kids in his house, and I’ve never had a divorce anyone. It is only a mistaken misperception. It can only be a misperception, or an oversight, or lack of proper comprehension if anybody of my disposition, of my social stature.”
