The Deputy Governor of Kano State, Alhaji Murtala Sule Garo, has urged members of the All Progressives Congress (APC) to intensify grassroots mobilisation for the re-election of President Bola Ahmed Tinubu, Governor Abba Kabir Yusuf and other party candidates ahead of the 2027 general elections.
Garo made the call on Monday while receiving a delegation of APC loyalists led by Hon. Garba Yusuf Abubakar, Chief Spokesperson of the party’s campaign team in Kano State, during a visit to his office.
He urged party members to take the campaign to all 484 wards and 44 Local Government Areas of the state as preparations for the 2027 general elections gather momentum.
The Deputy Governor said the state government’s Kano First Agenda, which focuses on prosperity, unity and reforms, is aimed at positioning Kano among the most developed states in Nigeria and Africa.
“We are all aware of the Kano First Agenda of His Excellency the Governor, which focuses on prosperity, unity and reforms that will place Kano among the top developed states nationwide and in Africa at large,” he said.
He added that anyone interested in the development of Kano State should support the Governor’s efforts towards achieving the agenda.
“Therefore, anybody who wishes positive development for our state must come forth and cooperate with the Governor to achieve the Kano First Agenda,” Garo stated.
Speaking earlier, leader of the delegation, Hon. Garba Yusuf Abubakar, said the visit was organised to appreciate Garo for his previous support to the group and to congratulate him on his appointment as Deputy Governor.
He said the group considered it necessary to appreciate his contributions and reaffirm its commitment to supporting his continued service as Deputy Governor.
The campaign spokesperson also commended Garo’s loyalty to the Governor, commitment to the party and dedication to public service, particularly his relationship with party members.
Abubakar further urged residents of Kano State to embrace the Governor’s Kano First philosophy, stressing that political, economic and social progress could only be achieved when citizens and political stakeholders worked together towards addressing the state’s challenges.
