Deputy Governorship Candidate of the All Progressives Congress (APC) in the 2023 elections, Alhaji Murtala Sule Garo, has called on Kano’s former governors and political leaders to set aside their differences and work together for the betterment of the state.

Speaking at a dinner and award night on Sunday organized by the 8th, 9th, and 10th Kano State House of Assembly Forum, Garo emphasized the critical role unity among leaders plays in accelerating the state’s development.

SolaceBase reports that Murtal Garo, a former Commissioner for Local Government and Chieftaincy Affairs and Galadima Garo said , “It is disheartening to see states like Zamfara—less developed than Kano—where former governors set aside their differences to attend events and contribute to the state’s progress. Here in Kano, former governors rarely come together to discuss and address issues affecting our state.”

He urged former governors to rise above political affiliations and personal differences, adding, “I am appealing to our former governors to collaborate and work closely for the singular goal of moving Kano forward. The collective effort of our leaders is essential to achieving the development our people deserve.”

In recognizing the efforts of the event organizers, Garo commended the members of the House of Assembly Forum for their unity and stressed the importance of preserving it.

“I urge politicians to desist from actions that could disrupt the strong bond among the Assembly members. Instead, we should learn from their example. If such unity continues, I have no doubt that Kano will experience unprecedented progress,” he remarked.
