Gov Yusuf defends choice of Garo as deputy, cites experience, commitment to Kano

Kano State Governor, Abba Yusuf, has said Murtala Sule Garo was chosen as deputy governor because of his experience and commitment to the state’s development.

In a statement released by his spokesperson, Mustapha Muhammad, the governor said Garo was selected after carefully reviewing several candidates. He explained that the decision was based on past performance, competence and the ability to contribute meaningfully to Kano’s progress.

Yusuf made this known during the 39th Executive Council meeting held at the Government House in Kano.

He said the government wanted someone who could effectively support its development plans.

Garo’s name was sent to the State House of Assembly last week after the former deputy governor, Aminu Abdulsalam Gwarzo, stepped down.

The Assembly quickly screened and confirmed him.

The governor praised the lawmakers, led by Speaker Jibril Ismail Falgore, for their swift action in approving the nomination.
He also said Garo would be sworn in soon and urged the public to support him in carrying out his duties.

Yusuf congratulated the new Head of Service, Hajiya Bilkisu Shehu Maimota, noting that she had already made valuable contributions while serving in previous roles.

He called on civil servants and stakeholders to support her in her new position.
