Former Commissioner for Local Government and 2023 APC Deputy Gubernatorial Candidate, His Excellency Alhaji Murtala Sule Garo, continues to demonstrate his commitment to the people of Kano State through a series of compassionate and community-centered visits across the state.
In recent days, H.E Murtala Sule Garo embarked on multiple high-profile engagements that reflect his deep-rooted connection with grassroots communities, traditional institutions, and political stakeholders.
The statesman was among dignitaries who graced the wedding ceremony of Khadija Ibrahim Tiga, daughter of Hon. Ibrahim Adamu Tiga. The bride was joined in matrimony with her groom, Saifullahi Usman Umar, in a colorful and well-attended event.
The event drew the presence of political heavyweights and respected community leaders, including:
Hon. Kabiru Alasan Rurum, Member representing Rano/Kibiya/Bunkure Federal Constituency, Hon. Muntari Ishaq Yakasai, former Kano State Commissioner, Hon. Barr. Maliki Kuliya, former Commissioner, and Hon. Sanusi Majidadi Kiru, former Commissioner
Their attendance underscored the unity and mutual respect among APC stakeholders in Kano State.
In a solemn display of empathy, H.E Murtala Sule Garo paid a condolence visit to the family of Late Hajiya Zainab, wife of respected Kano politician and former gubernatorial candidate Malam Salihu Sagir Takai. The deceased passed away recently in Egypt, and the visit was aimed at offering prayers and support to the grieving family. Garo prayed for Allah’s mercy on the soul of the departed and for strength and patience for the bereaved family.
Continuing his outreach, the APC stalwart also visited Hon. Yellow Fanisau, a former Kano State House of Assembly Member representing Ungogo constituency, who has been unwell.
The visit was marked by prayers for swift and complete recovery, reiterating the values of brotherhood and compassion within the political circle and the wider community.
Throughout these engagements, H.E Murtala Sule Garo was accompanied by a delegation of respected political figures and elder statesmen, including: Hon. Laminu Sani Zawiyya (Former Commissioner),
Hon. Ibrahim Ahmad Karaye (Madakin Karaye), Hon. Alh. Sale Kausani Wudil, and Hon. Baffa Muhammad Takai (Former ALGON Chairman, Kano).
Their presence not only reinforced the strong network and unity within the APC but also highlighted Garo’s influential role as a bridge between party leadership and the people.
For the newlyweds: asking Allah to bless their union with peace, love, and understanding,
For the sick: asking Allah to grant full recovery and strength,
For the deceased: praying Allah forgives their shortcomings and grants them Aljannatul Firdaus.
These acts of community engagement further reinforce H.E Murtala Sule Garo’s reputation as a leader of the people, whose political mission continues to center around empathy, unity, and development.
