By DAVID IORJA, Abuja- –
President Bola Tinubu has mourned the death of the Galadiman of Kano and a senior kingmaker in the Kano Emirate, Alhaji Abbas Sanusi.
The late Sanusi died on Wednesday morning at the age of 92.
President Tinubu in a condolence message by his media aide, Bayo Onanuga, described the late Sanusi as a significant pillar of the traditional institution, whose contributions to its survival and development would be remembered beyond the Kano Emirate and the state itself.
The President extended his condolences to the government and people of Kano State, the Kano Emirate Council, and the family of the late chief.
He offered prayers for the deceased’s soul to be granted peace in Jannatul Firdaus.
Sanusi, who died after a prolonged illness, is survived by many children and grandchildren.
Among his children is Alhaji Abdullahi Abbas, the Kano State chairman of the All Progressives Congress (APC).
