In the midst of whispers and speculation, one question echoes through the corridors of Kano’s political landscape: Where is Murtala Sule Garo, the APC’s deputy gubernatorial candidate in 2023 governorship election in Kano? Some party supporters lament his perceived elusiveness. That he is no longer in the public eye. But can this be true?
First and foremost my question is and remains, are we in an election period or electioneeeing campaign period, where you expect to see Garo going round campaigning for his party? But for any right thinking persons, know that, closer examination can reveal Garo’s unwavering commitment to the people, unshaken by the ebbs and flows of politics.
His reputation as a straightforward, grassroots politician with a genuine passion for youth empowerment and inclusion speaks volumes. He deceives not and he doesn’t make empty promises, no matter whose ox is gored.
His independent mind and political sagacity have earned him admiration across party lines. Unlike some politicians, he doesn’t prioritize self-promotion or wooing foreign investors at the expense of local concerns. Instead, he focuses on nurturing the growth of Kano’s communities. Through true inclusion of women and youth in politics and governance.
Accessibility and approachability are hallmarks of Garo’s leadership style. He maintains meaningful relationships with supporters and admirers, eschewing the trappings of power for genuine connections. You can reach out to him, with or without an appointment, and expect a warm reception.
His strength lies in his ability to mobilize women and youth without fanfare or social media posturing. His humility and sincerity make him a hero in Kano politics, transcending party affiliations. This young leader’s commitment to humanity, not personal gain, sets him apart.
No empty promises or deceitful tactics for Garo. He’s a pillar in Kano politics, and his influence extends far beyond his party. His legacy will endure, built on honesty, respect, and genuine connection with the people.
Garo’s authenticity has earned him loyal admirers across the political spectrum. When he sneezes, real politicians take notice. His unwavering dedication to the welfare of Kano’s citizens has created a ripple effect, inspiring a new generation of leaders.
The whispers of criticism fade into the background as his actions speak louder than words. He walks among the people, listening to their concerns and offering solutions. His door remains open, welcoming those seeking guidance or support.
Murtala Sule Garo’s story serves as a testament to the power of selfless leadership. In an era of politics-as-usual, he stands out as a beacon of hope. His unwavering commitment to the people will forever etch his name in the annals of Kano’s political history.
As the dust settles, one thing becomes clear: as people wrongly perceive that he is absent from the spotlight, which I vehemently reject, that also doesn’t equate to absence from the scene. He’s working tirelessly, building bridges and fostering growth. The people know it. The politicians know it.
And when the history books are written, Murtala Sule Garo’s name will shine brightly, a hero of Kano politics, fused in the real understanding of integrity, humility, and unwavering dedication to the people.
