A lawmaker in the House of Representatives, Hon Alhassan Ado-Doguwa representing Doguwa/Tudun Wada LGA in Kano State welcomed his 28th child on Monday.
He disclosed this during the plenary session on Tuesday while responding to a congratulatory comment from the House Minority Leader, Ndudi Elumelu (PDP, Delta State).
The joyous APC, Kano lawmaker revealed that he is not done with having children as he is still active and prepared to get up to 30 before the end of 2023 elections.
In his words, “This is no longer news. It is no longer news because this thing happened in the last 24 hours. It is true that my beloved family has gotten an additional one person. It is a bouncing baby girl.
“The mother and the baby are hale and hearty. The husband is still active. I am here and I thank God that I kept my word with the house that while I had 27, I promised you that I will continue counting. By the grace of God and your prayers, the count will continue.
“Now that we are considering the Electoral Act amendment and when we get to the floor, perhaps in the Committee of the Whole, I would appeal to my members so that we suspect relevant rules and we have a clause in the Electoral Act were it permits families that have up to 30 kids in their compound to have an electoral polling unit in that family.”
Speaker Femi Gbajabiamilathwn asked if he was working towards a polling unit in his house with 2 to go, the lawmaker said that, “At least between now and 2023 before the elections come, if you allow that, then I would have a polling unit within my home.”
Hon Alhassan Ado-Doguwa currently has 4 wives.
