Former Majority Leader of the House of Representatives, Alhassan Ado Doguwa, has stated that winning an election is not just about the number of votes cast, but also about following the rules of the game.

Doguwa made this statement on Wednesday on National broadcast while reacting to the ongoing controversies surrounding the 2023 elections in Kano State.

He said that elections in a democratic setting like Nigeria are always about rules and regulations and that contesting an election under these rules is what makes it free and fair.

He said, “For me when you ask me about what is going on in Kano, the going on is usual, Kano has always been a progressive, proactive state in terms of politics and ideology.
