Battle for Kano Deputy Governor Seat: Falgore and Garo Lead the Pack

The resignation of Aminu Abdussalam Gwarzo has opened a fresh contest for Kano’s deputy governor slot. Jibril Isma’il Falgore and Murtala Sule Garo now lead the pack. Other contenders include youth leader Kabiru Ado Lakwaya, ALGON chairperson Sa’adatu Salisu Yushau and former aspirant Salihu Sagir Takai. Their strengths range from grassroots support to zoning advantages. Governor Abba Kabir Yusuf must weigh inputs from party heavyweights such as Ganduje and Deputy Senate President Jibrin Barau. Allegations of undue pressure have also surfaced, with concerned citizens writing to the president over a candidate’s corruption claims. As the APC realigns ahead of 2027, regional balance, party unity and governance performance will guide the final choice for this key post.
