Haruna Garba Magashi is announced by Sowore as his running mate in 2023.

Omoyele Sowore, the African Action Congress’ nominee for president, has formally named Haruna Garba Magashi as his running partner.

In addition, he expressed confidence that his party will defeat the main opposition Peoples Democratic Party and the ruling All Progressives Congress in the upcoming presidential election.

Sowore claimed his running mate had all it takes to win Kano, his home state, for the AAC in the general election of 2023 when he made the announcement on Thursday in Abuja.

“We want to beat the APC there because the governor made a mistake; we are confident that we will defeat the PDP since that is the party that is currently experiencing a crisis.

“We don’t need to talk about the Labour Party in Kano because the party doesn’t exist,” the AAC candidate said.

“We know that we will defeat Alhaji Kwankawso and his party, the NNPP in Kano because we have got someone who is from there.”

The AAC had earlier submitted Magashi’s name to the Independent National Electoral Commission.
