The city of Kano was in a jubilant mood as residents came out in their thousands to welcome the Executive Governor of Kano State, His Excellency Alhaji Abba Kabir Yusuf, upon his return from the holy Hajj pilgrimage in Saudi Arabia.
The grand reception, which took the state by storm, was beautifully organized by the vibrant and ever-committed “Kano Abba Go Again Movement”, a grassroots-driven initiative known for its unwavering support for the governor.
From the Malam Aminu Kano International Airport to the heart of the city, Kano was filled with chants, music, and cheers as supporters, political allies, youth groups, traditional leaders, women’s associations, and party faithful lined the streets in celebration of the governor’s safe return and spiritual accomplishment.
