My Remark On Official Cars Quoted Out Of Context –- Doguwa – TheNigerialawyer

A former member representing Tudunwada/Doguwa Federal
Constituency of Kano State, Alhassan Ado Doguwa, has said that his
remark on official cars was quoted out of context.

Mr Doguwa was seen in a recent video telling his constituents
that the Speaker of the House of Representatives, Femi
Gbajabiamila, approved three new official vehicles for him despite
a court order sacking him from the House of the Representative.

However, in a statement on Tuesday by his media aide, Hassan
Inuwa, the former lawmaker said he was quoted out of context.

According to him, “The attention of the office of Rt. Hon.
Alhassan Ado Doguwa (former House leader, House of Reps) has been
drawn to an online media report, saying the former member has
received 3 official cars from the Speaker of the House of
Representatives.

“We wish to therefore categorically set the record clear
viz:

“That it is true Hon. Alhassan Doguwa had recently hosted party
supporters and other well-wishers, who trooped to register their
sympathy over the recent court verdict that ordered for a fresh
election in Doguwa/Tudun-wada federal constituency.

“That it is also known that during such visits, some of the
visitors recorded the events and shared the short, disjointed clips
on social media platforms.

“That the story did not capture the true context of Hon.
Doguwa’s remark

“That it is on record that no principal officer, serving or
non-serving, was allocated any vehicle yet by the House.

“Therefore, to say that the former member collected official
vehicles during this transition period was out of place,
derogatory, and wild machinations from political opponents to smear
his name.

“That as a law-abiding citizen, Hon. Alhassan would never
indulge himself in any action that could undermine the honour and
esteem of the House as well as the sanctity of the rule of law.

“That it is a fact that Hon. Alhassan Doguwa enjoys tremendous
respect and good rapport with his honorable colleagues, the
Speaker, leadership of the house, and the media, and he wishes that
to remain intact.

Whilst he prays that the rerun election would, inshaa Allah,
prove him victorious again, the former House leader calls on
political actors to desist from taking actions that could
unnecessarily overheat the polity.”
