Governor of Kano State, Abba Yusuf, has nominated and forwarded Murtala Garo to the State House of Assembly for screening and confirmation as the new deputy governor of the state.

This was disclosed in a statement issued by the Chief Press Secretary to the governor, Mustapha Muhammad, late Tuesday night.

According to the statement: “The nomination is in line with Section 191(3) of the 1999 Constitution (as amended), which empowers the Governor to nominate a Deputy Governor where a vacancy exists.”

ZINGTIE reports that the deputy governor’s position became vacant following the resignation of Abdussalam Gwarzo on March 27, 2026.

“Following wide consultations with key stakeholders, the Governor has requested the Assembly to grant the necessary approval for Garo’s nomination,” the statement added.
