APC lawmaker Doguwa says winning elections is not only by votes, Shehu Sani reacts

Former federal lawmaker, Shehu Sani, has reacted to the statement credited to the former Majority Leader of the House of Representatives, Alhassan Ado Doguwa, that winning an election is not just about the number of votes cast.

Speaking during an interview on Channels TV on Wednesday, November 29, Doguwa winning elections also has to do with following the rules of the game, Daily Trust reported.

Sani stated this while reacting to the ongoing controversies surrounding the 2023 elections in Kano State.

“What our people may fail to understand or some of our people are lacking in understanding is that elections especially in a democratic settings like the one we are operating in Nigeria is always about rules of the game, is not just about I won election."

Reacting to Doguwa’s statement via his X page (formerly known as Twitter), @ShehuSani, on Thursday, November 30, he simply wrote: "It’s by the Spirit. Nigerians react @Doc_steena We are very aware. It is by snatching and running with it with a dose of judiciary Abracadabra. @SylverValentina Winning elections is not only by votes it is by the highest bidder in the court. @SabinaNkiru They've totally lost it. They open their mouth and vomit the criminality they practice."
