Kano State Governor, Abba Kabir Yusuf, has appointed Alhaji Murtala Sule Garo as his new Deputy Governor, following the resignation of Comrade Abdulsalam Gwarzo.

Kano State Governor, Abba Kabir Yusuf, has appointed Alhaji Murtala Sule Garo as his new Deputy Governor, following the resignation of Comrade Abdulsalam Gwarzo.

Gwarzo’s resignation came after a fallout with the governor, primarily over his decision to leave the New Nigeria Peoples Party (NNPP) for the All Progressives Congress (APC).

Gwarzo had faced mounting pressure to align with Governor Yusuf but refused, leading to the commencement of impeachment proceedings against him in the State House of Assembly.

Gwarzo eventually resigned amid the growing tension and later joined the African Democratic Congress (ADC).

In a statement issued by the Governor’s Chief Press Secretary, Mustapha Muhammad, Governor Yusuf nominated Garo to fill the vacant deputy governor position in accordance with Section 191(3) of the 1999 Constitution (as amended), which empowers the Governor to nominate a Deputy Governor when there is a vacancy.

Muhammad further revealed that Garo’s nomination followed extensive consultations with key stakeholders, and the governor has requested the State Assembly’s approval for the nomination.

The 48-year-old Murtala Sule Garo is described as a seasoned political administrator with over two decades of experience in both elected and appointed positions. He has served as the State Organising Secretary of his former party, Special Adviser to the Kano State Governor, and was elected Chairman of Kabo Local Government.

Garo also held the position of Chairman of the Association of Local Governments of Nigeria (ALGON) in Kano, served as Commissioner for Local Government and Chieftaincy Affairs, and was the Deputy Governorship Candidate of the APC in the 2023 general elections.

The governor’s office stated that Garo’s appointment is aimed at strengthening governance and ensuring effective service delivery in the state.

Ibrahim505:
President Buhari ordered the soldiers to extra judicially execute any thug involved with snathcing ballot box. Garo deliberately teared the election result of entire local govenment denying this same governor been elected in 2019.
The politicians are only using the poor as a tool for their fake rivalry.

How we foiled Jonathan’s effort to make Mulika Adeola Speaker, Akande reveals

AS president in 2011, Goodluck Jonathan did all he could to ensure South West grabbed the country’s number four seat, including lobbying then opposition leaders from the zone, to no avail. The North West eventually grabbed the seat, supported by South West leaders in opposition to then ruling party, the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP).

Former Governor of Osun State and now statesman, Chief Bisi Akande, made this revelation in his autobiography, “My Participations” which is currently dominating political and national dis- course.

Aminu Tambuwal, now Sokoto State governor, won the seat, against the preferred pick of his party, Mrs Mulikat Adeola Akande, from the South-West. Defunct Action Congress of Nigeria, then a fledging opposition, which had Akande and his soulmate, former Lagos State governor, Senator Bola Tinubu, as front- line leaders, openly asked its elected members of the House of Representatives, mostly from the South-West, to work against their region and back Tambuwal from North-West.

The opposition party’s support carried Tambuwal through the contest against Akande, then ruling party’s favourite for the speakership seat.

In his book, Chief Akande revealed that former president then as incumbent, personally reached out to Tinubu, who is now believed to be nursing presidential aspiration in 2023 and himself, but couldn’t convince them.

He wrote, “President Jonathan, immediately after the meeting (with political parties), called Bola Tinubu aside into a lobby to broach the matter of ACN support for a choice of who would become the Speaker of the House of Representatives.

“That same day, President Jonathan talked to me on phone about the same matter. He disclosed that PDP had zoned the position to the South-West but that only one Muraina and another Mulika won elections on PDP ticket from the zone into the House of Representatives.

When Funke Olakurin, daughter of Afenifere leader, Pa Reuben Fasoranti was murdered instead of Bola Tinubu to make sure that the perpetrators were brought to book, he ended up making fun of the death of the young lady by turning everything into tribalism by showing his hates for Igbos.


Tinubu has never spoken against the deadly activities of Fulani herdsmen across the country

The same stand Adeyinka Grandson gave on the death of Fasoranti's daughter is where Tinubu, the leader of the Yoruba Conservatives stands. Please see Tinubu's video below. pic.twitter.com/COhiSvabqW

Mrs Olakunrin died of gunshot wounds in July 2019 after her vehicle was attacked by armed men, suspected to be marauding Fulani bandits whose violent activities had reached a frightening level across the southwest states.


Those arrested suspects include Lawal Mazaje, 40, from Felele area of Kogi State; Adamu Adamu, 50, from Jada area of Adamawa State; Mohammed Usman, 26, from Illela area of Sokoto State and Auwal Abubakar, 25, from Shinkafi area of Zamfara State....

However, the leader of the team, identified only as Tambaya, and three others are yet to be found.

Tambaya has been declared wanted by the police and he is said to be capable of communicating in Hausa, Fulfude and Pidgin English.

but this garo is loyal to ganduje to the core. Yusuf will not enjoy his second tenure (if he wins) because ganduje will frustrate him

This is getting serious. If Kwankwaso really wants to do Abba dirty, he should just pick Gawuna as the gubernatorial candidate. Abba will be done. But seriously, I can't even begin to understand what kind of brain Abba has. Even if you intend to betray your principal, why do it just a year to the election? Why not hold on till you win your second term? Then you can do whatever you like.
