Tinubu Mourns the Passing of Galadiman Kano, Abbas Sanusi

President Bola Tinubu has expressed deep sorrow over the death of Alhaji Abbas Sanusi, the Galadiman Kano and senior kingmaker of the Kano Emirate. He passed away at the age of 92 following a prolonged illness. He is survived by numerous children and grandchildren, including Alhaji Abdullahi Abbas, the Kano State chairman of the All Progressives Congress (APC).

In a statement issued by his spokesperson, Bayo Onanuga, President Tinubu described the late Abbas Sanusi as a pivotal figure in the traditional institution, whose contributions to its survival and growth will be remembered beyond the borders of Kano Emirate and the state itself.

President Tinubu extended his condolences to the government and people of Kano State, the Kano Emirate Council, and the family of the deceased, calling his loss irreparable.

The President prayed that Allah grants the late Galadiman Kano a place in Jannatul Firdaus and provides comfort to his grieving family.
