Ganduje visits Kwankwaso family over patriarch’s death
Kano governor Abdullahi Ganduje paid a belated condolence visit to the family of late Musa Sale-Kwankwaso on Saturday, Abba Anwar, the governor’s chief press secretary said.
The late Sale-Kwankwaso died on December 25 at the age of 93.
The deceased was the father of the immediate past governor of Kano, Sen. Rabi’u Musa-Kwankwaso.
Mr. Anwar said the governor, who was out of the country when the older Kwankwaso died, also pledged to continue to give the family all the necessary support.
“After his return from abroad, governor Ganduje paid a condolence visit to the families of the late Makaman Karaye at the residence of the deceased, in Kwankwaso, Madabo Local Government Area.
Mr. Anwar said, “The governor was received by the Commissioner for Rural Development, Musa Iliasu-Kwankwaso, a few kilometres to the town.
“The governor was also received by the Village head of Kwankwaso, Alhaji Baba Musa Kwankwaso at the deceased’s house in Kwankwaso village.”
He lamented that the state lost a very caring father, who had blessed years before his return to Allah. May Allah forgive his sins and continue to shower blessings on him.
Mr. Ganduje and his predecessor enjoyed long years of political and personal relationships before parting ways in the run up to the 2019 elections.
