APC Forum applauds Kano governor for choosing Garo as deputy

A political pressure group within the All Progressives Congress (APC), the Emerging Progressives Leaders’ Forum (EPLF), has praised Governor Abba Kabir Yusuf for what it described as a bold and strategic decision in choosing Murtala Sule Garo as deputy governor.

Garo previously held the position of Commissioner for Local Government Affairs in Kano State.

In a statement signed by its national coordinator, Hafiz Idris, the group said the appointment reflects a clear understanding of Kano’s political dynamics and the urgent need for experienced leadership capable of stabilizing and strengthening governance.

The Forum highlighted Garo’s impressive track record in public service, highlighting his years of administrative competence, loyalty to party ideals and ability to deliver results, describing him as a tested and trusted leader whose contributions to the growth of the APC in Kano remain significant.

According to the group, Garo’s emergence is expected to serve as a unifying force within the party, bridging divisions and promoting cohesion among stakeholders ahead of future political engagements.

“Honourable Murtala Sule Garo is a grassroots politician with vast experience and a deep connection with the people. His choice will not only consolidate governance but also reposition the APC for greater strength and unity in Kano State,” the statement read.

The group also urged party members to support the new deputy governor, stressing that collective support is key to sustaining progress and achieving shared policy goals.

He expressed confidence that the Yusuf-Garo partnership will usher in a new era of stability, inclusiveness and effective leadership in the State.
