Rep. Ado Doguwa (APC-Kano state) has commended the Court of Appeal’ judgment that upheld his innocence in a case of murder brought against him by the Kano State Government.
In a statement in Abuja, Doguwa who represents Tudun Wada/Doguwa Federal Constituency of Kano state in the House of Representatives, said that the judiciary remains the last hope of the common man.
The court had ruled that the appeal by the Kano State Government lacked in merit and affirmed an earlier judgement by the Federal High Court, Abuja which acquitted the lawmaker.
It could be recalled that Doguwa was arrested for alleged murder during the 2023 general election which led to the cancellation and rerun of the National Assembly polls in the constituency.
In his reaction, Doguwa said that the judgment is a testimony of good and reliable judicial system in the country.
He said that for an individual to win a case against a state government like that of Kano, is proof that Nigeria’s judiciary remains the only hope of a common man.
“We appreciate God for once again vindicating me and absolving me from the mischief of my political opponents.
“I want to urge my people especially at the constituency level to celebrate this victory by thanking Hod and avoid breach of law and order.
“I have also accepted all that happened in the course of this judicial tussle as an act of God and taking it as an opportunity to prepare me for greater leadership challenge coming ahead,” he said.
