2023: Gov Ganduje’s Former Aide, Tanko Yakasai Joins Kano Guber Race

Salihu Tanko Yakasai, a former media aide of Governor Abdullahi Ganduje of Kano, has announced his intention to run for office of governor of the state in the forthcoming 2023 election.

Tanko-Yakasai made this known via his verified Twitter handle on Tuesday.

He said his official declaration will take place on Friday, adding that he will run on the platform of the People’s Redemption Party (PRP).

“In the name of Allah, I trust in Allah; there is no might & no power but in Allah. My dear family, friends & well-wishers, this is to announce to you my intention to contest for Governor, Kano State, under our great party PRP. My official declaration will take place this Friday,” he tweeted.

This comes weeks after he resigned his membership of the All Progressives Congress (APC).

In February 2021, Tanko-Yakasai was sacked by Ganduje for making “continued unguarded comments” and criticising President Muhammadu Buhari.

Tanko-Yakasai, while leaving the APC in March, had said the party had failed to fulfil its campaign promises to Nigerians.
