Abdullahi Ganduje, Governor of Kano State, North-West Nigeria, has obtained the All Progressives Congress (APC) Senatorial form.
Gatekeepers News reports that Ganduje, 72, will contest to represent Kano North Senatorial District at the red chamber.
The Governor had on May 8 endorsed his deputy, Nasiru Gawuna, to succeed him, while Murtala Garo, former commissioner for local government and chieftaincy affairs, was reportedly selected to be Gawuna’s running mate in the 2023 governorship election.
Rabiu Kwankwaso had picked Ganduje as his deputy Governor from 1999 to 2003 and 2011 to 2015. He later succeeded his principal in 2015 and he is to complete his two terms as governor on May 29, 2023.
