Al Hassan Doguwa, majority leader of the House of
Representatives, has been accused of hitting Murtala Sule Garo, deputy
governorship candidate of the All Progressives Congress (APC), with a teacup.
The incident was said to have occurred at the home of Garo
on Monday.
According to BBC Hausa, the House of Representatives member
was angry that he was not invited to the meeting as a stakeholder of the party
in the state.
The deputy governorship candidate alleged that Doguwa threw
a teacup at him while demanding an explanation for his exemption from the
meeting.
“When he invaded the
meeting, he started disagreeing that he was not involved in the meeting because
it was a time of sharing money but when it comes to the difficult task of the
party he will be invited,” BBC quoted Garo as saying.
“Mr Doguwa accused me of destroying his banners which I
denied, he grabbed a teacup in front of the deputy governor and threw it at
me.”
But the house majority leader said the allegation that he
attacked Garo with a cup is false.
“Contrary to what people are saying, I did not throw a
teacup at him,” the lawmaker told BBC.
The party at the state and federal levels is yet to comment
on the development.
