Governor Ganduje of Kano state has anointed his deputy, Nasir Gawuna, as the preferred candidate of the ruling All Progressives Congress, APC, for the 2023 gubernatorial election.
The Informant247 gathered that Gawuna’s candidacy was approved and backed at a stakeholders’ meeting Governor Abdullahi Ganduje presided over.
It was equally agreed upon at the meeting that the former Commissioner for Local Government and Chieftaincy Affairs, Murtala Sule Garo, should be Gawuna’s running mate in the election.
It was also gathered that attempts to step Garo down would not have been possible without the intervention of the leaders and statesmen of the party.
Recall that Ganduje who was the deputy governor of the state during the two-term administrations of Senator Rabiu Kwankwaso, was later endorsed by his former principal, before they both parted ways shortly after the 2015 elections.
History will be repeating itself if the newly anointed candidate of the governor emerges the next governor in the 2023 election.
