A political advocacy group in Kano State has thrown its weight behind Hon. Adamu Abdu Fanda for the position of deputy governor, describing him as a neutral, experienced and credible figure suited for the state’s evolving political landscape.
The group, led by its Chairman, Mukhtar Dahiru Gora, made this known in a statement made available to The Historica Nigeria, noting that the current political moment in Kano demands leadership anchored on experience, competence and proven service.
According to the group, Hon. Fanda represents a rare blend of grassroots leadership, legislative exposure, executive competence and national political experience, with a public service record defined by consistency, loyalty and tangible results.
They highlighted his extensive public service career, which includes serving as Chairman of Albasu Local Government Area; Member of the House of Representatives for Gaya/Ajingi/Albasu Federal Constituency; Commissioner for Finance in Kano State; National Treasurer of the All Progressives Congress (APC); Board Chairman of the Nigeria Export Processing Zones Authority (NEPZA); and his current role as National Commissioner at the Revenue Mobilization, Allocation and Fiscal Commission (RMAFC).

The group further noted that Hon. Fanda is academically grounded, holding a degree in Political Science, which they said provides him with a strong intellectual foundation for governance and policy formulation.
Beyond politics, they described him as a successful private-sector leader and entrepreneur, serving as Group Chairman of Fantel Nigeria Limited and Fantel Technology, a telecommunications firm with over 25 years of industry experience.
Through these ventures, the group said he has facilitated the creation of over 100,000 direct and indirect jobs, empowering youths across Kano, Jigawa, Yobe, Katsina and other parts of Nigeria.
“In an era where governance requires fiscal discipline, political maturity, grassroots acceptance and economic vision, Hon. Adamu Abdu Fanda stands out as a leader whose record speaks louder than rhetoric,” Mukhtar Dahiru Gora stated on behalf of the group.
They added that Kano State deserves leadership that is experienced, balanced and forward-looking, stressing that Hon. Fanda embodies these qualities and remains a compelling figure in ongoing discussions about the future leadership architecture of the state.
