Governor Yusuf Condemns Disrespectful Conduct During First Lady’s Visit
.. Calls for Moral Renewal and Political Decorum
Kano State Governor, Alhaji Abba Kabir Yusuf, has distanced himself, his administration, and the good people of Kano State from the unbecoming conduct of certain youths who displayed innerwear during the recent official visit of the First Lady, Senator Oluremi Tinubu.
A statement issued by Governor’s Chief Press Secretary Mustapha Muhammad on Sunday said the Governor expressed his disappointment during the Third Special Prayer for Lasting Peace, held at the Government House on Sunday.
According to the statement 4,444 Quranic reciters converged to seek divine intervention for the stability and prosperity of the state and the nation.
Governor Yusuf described the incident as a disturbing departure from the core values that define Kano First Agenda.
He emphasised that the act is contrary to the teachings of Islam, which preach modesty and respect for authority.
Governor Abba Yusuf, invited the perpetrators of the act at the event, warned them against any future occurrence that might tarnish the image of the state.
He equally warned politicians against the infiltration and destruction of youth culture for cheap political gains.
“Our youths should be symbols of hope and development, not tools for mockery or moral decadence.
” I urge my fellow politicians to lead by example, cease the culture of insults, and focus on Kano First Agenda rather than inciting our children toward indecency,” the governor appealed.
Governor Yusuf called on the perpetrators to seek God’s forgiveness and to formally apologise to the people of Kano State for the embarrassment caused to the state and its people.
He said the administration remained steadfast in ensuring that Kano remains a bastion of discipline, hospitality, and religious devotion.
The governor reassured a renewed commitment from the state government to prioritise youth mentorship and the preservation of Kano’s rich cultural heritage.
In his remarks, Emir of Kano Muhammad Sanusi II represented by Alhaji Aliyu Harazumi assured that the emirate would continue organising similar Quranic recitation for the lasting peace to reign in the state.
Some of Ulama who spoke at the event include: Bazallah Sheik Nasir Kabara, Sheik Ali Dan Abba, Sheik Jamilu AlQadiri, Sheik Bala Kalarawi, Sheik Prof. Abdallah Pakistan, Shehi Shehi Maihula.
