Mr Gwarzo and Maryam Shetty’s nominations in August 2023 to represent Kano in President Tinubu’s cabinet came as a surprise in the state. Ms Shetty was later controversially dropped for Mariya Mahmud. The former governor of the state, Abdullahi Ganduje, who is now the APC national chairman, defended Ms Shetty’s replacement. He said the president had been “misled” into nominating her as minister.
Born in 1962, Mr Ata graduated from Bayero University, Kano, with a degree in Economics. He served as Speaker of the state House of Assembly from 2017 to 2018 and as the Majority Leader from 2015 to 2017.He contested in the APC House of Representatives primary for the 2023 General Election but lost to Suleiman Goro, who in turn lost to the NNPP candidate, Muhammad Bello. In August, the Senate confirmed Mr Ata’s appointment as a federal commissioner at the Public Complaints Commission.
Mr Sumaila’s recent media commentaries and political meetings fuel speculation that he has decided to return to the APC. With Alhassan Doguwa standing up to the Kwankwasiyya group in the Tudun Wada/Doguwa Federal Constituency, Mr Sumaila’s return would be a massive boost for the APC in the vital Kano South.
