The nomination is in line with Section 191(3) of the 1999 Constitution (as amended), which empowers a state governor to nominate a replacement where the office of Deputy Governor becomes vacant.
The position became vacant following the voluntary resignation of the former Deputy Governor, Abdussalam Gwarzo, on March 27, 2026.
