House of Representatives Majority Leader Alhassan Ado-Doguwa has welcomed his 28th child.
Ado-Doguwa, while responding to a congratulatory comment from the House Minority Leader Ndudi Elumelu during plenary on Tuesday, said the child was born in the last 24 hours.
The House Leader, in his 50s, said he intends to get more as he is still active and prepared to get 30 before the 2023 elections.
The lawmaker, who represents Doguwa/Tudun Wada Federal Constituency and a member of the All Progressives Congress (APC), has four wives.
He said: “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 baby girl. Bouncing.
“The mother and the baby are hale 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 would continue counting. I want by the grace of God and your prayers that the count would continue.”
Doguwa joked about creating legislation to enable families with 30 children to get an electoral polling unit, as this was his target.
