Kano State Governor Abba Yusuf has officially confirmed Deputy Governor Murtala Garo as his running mate for the 2027 governorship election, reaffirming his confidence in the deputy governor’s leadership and contributions to the administration.
The announcement was made during a strategic meeting with federal political appointees of President Bola Tinubu at the Kano Governor’s Lodge in Abuja.
According to a statement issued on Monday by the governor’s spokesperson, Sunusi Bature Dawakin Tofa, Yusuf’s decision was influenced by Garo’s performance, loyalty and commitment since assuming office.
The governor said he remained fully satisfied with his choice of deputy governor, expressing confidence in Garo’s ability to continue supporting the administration’s vision and development agenda.
“I have no regrets for choosing Garo as my Deputy in the last few months, and he has proven to be the right choice so far,” the governor said. “I want to confirm to you that I have every confidence in him.”
Governor Yusuf praised Garo for his role in governance, noting that his contributions have helped drive the administration’s development programmes and policy implementation across Kano State.
“He has demonstrated competence, dedication, and a strong sense of responsibility in the discharge of his duties,” Yusuf added.
The governor further described the deputy governor as a dependable partner whose commitment has been instrumental in achieving key government objectives since the administration assumed office.
Yusuf also called on party leaders, political appointees and supporters to remain united as preparations gradually begin for the 2027 general elections.
“We must remain focused and committed as we consolidate on our achievements and move forward together,” he said.
