Garo's 90% Chance to Become Kano Deputy Governor

Alhassan Ado Doguwa, a major leader in Nigeria's House of Representatives, disclosed during a stakeholders' meeting that Murtala Sule Garo has a 90% chance of emerging as the deputy governor of Kano State. This statement follows the resignation of Abdussalam Aminu Gwarzo from the deputy governor position.

Doguwa emphasized that Garo, who previously served as the commissioner for local government affairs and security, has garnered significant support from influential political figures, particularly from the old political bloc in the state. Garo is recognized as a grassroots-driven politician, known for his loyalty and consistent support for Governor Abba Kabir Yusuf, especially during critical times.

The political landscape is currently competitive, with various individuals vying for the deputy governor position as Governor Yusuf navigates his new role after defecting to the New Nigerian Peoples Party from the APC.
