Governor Abah Yusuf’s spokesperson, Sunusi Tofa, confirmed the visit in a statement on Thursday, describing it as a significant gesture of national unity and respect for both the people of Kano and the enduring legacy of Alhaji Dantata.

Tofa urged residents of Kano to warmly welcome the President in accordance with the state’s long-standing traditions of hospitality, dignity, and respect for visiting leaders.
“This is a moment of solemn reflection and national respect, I urge all Kano residents to receive the President warmly and in an orderly manner, as he joins us in mourning one of our greatest elder statesmen,” the governor was quoted as saying.
Authorities have assured that all necessary security and logistical arrangements have been made to facilitate a smooth and dignified visit by the President.
