“He is the most suitable candidate,” Doguwa stated. “He has remained consistent, patient, and loyal. This is the kind of support the governor needs at a critical time.” The Majority Leader urged Governor Yusuf to formally appoint Garo as his preferred deputy governor, stressing that the choice would reflect stability and continuity in governance. This endorsement adds significant weight to Garo’s candidacy, especially given Doguwa’s national political influence and credibility.
Meanwhile, other aspirants vying for the position include Rabiu Suleiman Bichi and Kabiru Alhassan Rurum, both of whom are seen as strong contenders with their own political networks. The race has intensified since Governor Yusuf’s recent defection from the New Nigerian Peoples Party (NNPP) to the ruling All Progressives Congress (APC), a move that has reshaped the political landscape in Kano. The appointment of a new deputy governor is expected to play a crucial role in consolidating the APC’s position in the state.
The selection process is being closely watched by political observers, as it may influence future electoral strategies and party cohesion. With Garo’s strong endorsement from Doguwa and the backing of the old guard, he appears to be the frontrunner in the race. However, the final decision rests with Governor Yusuf, who must balance loyalty, political dynamics, and public perception. The appointment is expected to be announced in the coming days, marking a key development in Kano’s political journey under the new administration.
