POLITICS DIGEST – There are indications that the governorship ambition of Murtala Sule Garo in the All Progressives Congress (APC) is in disarray as GovernorAbdullahiGanduje is said to be under pressure to drop him as his preferred successor.
This is coming few days after the governor travelled to United Arab Emirates for an Investment Summit that was facilitated by Nigerian Governors Forum (NGF).
Garo who is currently the Commissioner for Local Government Affairs in the state, is, according to sources, waiting for the governor’s endorsement before tendering his resignation letter.
Garo will be flying to Dubai himself to seek clarity from the governor.

“That is what is delaying his resignation, he is not sure of whether the governor will support him. He has changed these days, the governor speaks from the both sides of his mouth and the pressure from other party stakeholders will eventually make the governor change his mind on Murtala.
“Baffa Babba Dan-agundi is in Dubai too, Garo may be uncomfortable seeing the governor with Dan-agundi who is a frontline supporter of another powerful gubernatorial aspirant, Kabiru Rurum.
“I think this is why he had to travel and meet the governor to get the assurance and support of His Excellency,” the source said.
Garo is one of the most powerful government official in the present administration. He got the endorsement of the governor’s wife, Hajiya Hafsat Ganduje, during an empowerment programme at Ungogo last year.
