Thousands of the All Progressive Congress (APC) and the New Nigerian Peoples Party (NNPP) supporters in Kano, on Friday, warmly welcomed President Bola Ahmed Tinubu to the state.

Tinubu, who arrived at Malam Aminu Kano International Airport (MAKIA),  Friday afternoon, was received by top chieftains of both APC and NNPP, including Governor Abba Kabir Yusuf, and Deputy Senate President, Dr. Barau Ibrahim Jubrin.

From MAKIA, President Tinubu’s long convoy proceeded to Koki Quarters, in the heart of Kano city, where the late business mogul’s family house, Aminu Alhassan Dantata, is located.

President Tinubu, after a heart-touching condolence message to the Dantata family, left for Kano Government House, where he condoled with Governor Yusuf and the people of Kano over the demise of the foremost philanthropist, Aminu Dantata.

Thousands of APC and NNPP supporters stormed the streets of Kano, even with the heavy downpour, expressing their gratitude for President Tinubu’s condolence visit, describing it as very significant.

Our Correspondent reports that there was no string of political clashes among supporters of the two parties, as all of them extended a warm reception to President Tinubu and his entourage.
