Another crisis is currently brewing in the Kano chapter of All Progressives Congress (APC) as the endorsed deputy governorship candidate, Murtala Sule Garo is reportedly mulling defection.

Garo, the immediate past Commissioner for Local Government and Chieftaincy Affairs in the state, was endorsed by Governor Abdullahi Umar Ganduje and paired with the current deputy governor, Nasir Gawuna (as governor) to fly the flag of the party in the 2023 gubernatorial election.

However, following a peace parley between Ganduje and Senator Barau Jibrin, a political arch-enemy of Garo from the Kano North senatorial zone, Garo was said to have felt slighted.

Ganduje agreed to step down for Barau for Kano North senatorial ticket after the Senator abandoned his gubernatorial ambition.
