The Majority leader in the House of Representatives, Alhassan Ado Doguwa has threatened to deal mercilessly with Nigerians who would not vote for the ruling All Progressives Congress (APC) in 2023.
Ado Doguwa Threatens Nigerians If They Refuse To Vote APC
Doguwa, who is a lawmaker from Kano was captured while campaigning in a video that has since gone viral on Tuesday.
He said, “It is either you vote for APC or we deal with you mercilessly.”
In the video, the lawmaker, who is a staunch ally of the APC presidential candidate, Bola Tinubu repeated the threat as several of his supporters chorused in support of him.
It is not clear when and where the video was recorded.
Reports say Kano ranks among states with the highest number of registered voters. According to the voter register released by the Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC) in October, Lagos, Kano, Kaduna, and Rivers States have the highest number of voters.
Lagos has 7,075,192 registered voters, followed by Kano with 5,927,565 registered voters, Kaduna with 4,345,469 registered voters, then Rivers with 3,532,990.
Meanwhile, Kanyi Daily reported that Ado Doguwa had recently raised an alarm that Tinubu risks losing Kano over the APC crisis in the state.
