Former lawmaker Senator Shehu Sani has reacted to an alleged
threat by a member of the House of Representatives, Alhassan Ado-Doguwa to
members of his constituency.
Sani expressed his concern on Tuesday in a post via his
Twitter handle.
Doguwa was caught on video issuing a threat to his
constituents to either vote for the All Progressives Congress, APC, on election
day or be dealt with.
According to the report, Doguwa, who spoke mainly in Hausa
and also used abusive language to threaten prospective voters, said:
“To God who made me, on election day, you must vote for APC,
or we deal with you.
“I’m saying it again: on election day, you either vote for
APC, or we deal with you.
“Repeat after me, in Doguwa, you either vote for APC or we
deal with you,” he said amidst a chorus of applause from the audience.”
Senator Sani has taken to his verified Twitter handle to
express his concern.
He wrote: “The threat to deal with anyone who refuses to
vote for the ruling APC in Kano is unfortunate and a serious threat to peaceful
elections. I advise the ranking Honorable member involved, who is still a
lawmaker for over two decades to withdraw this statement.”
