Abdul Ghani Kasuba is an Indonesian politician and the former governor and former lieutenant governor of North Maluku.[1]
Kasuba denoted South Halmahera Regency as a region he wanted to develop as the province's tourism hub.[2] In 2017, he inaugurated the Widi International Fishing Tournament as one of those ways.[3]
