President Bola Tinubu has expressed deep grief over the passing of Alhaji Abbas Sanusi, the Galadiman Kano and a senior kingmaker in the Kano Emirate.
Sanusi, who died at 92 during a prolonged illness, is survived by many children and grandchildren.
The President’s condolence message was contained in a statement signed by his Special Adviser on Information and Strategy, Mr Bayo Onanuga, on Wednesday.
Among his children is Alhaji Abdullahi Abbas, the Kano State chairman of the All Progressives Congress (APC).
President Tinubu 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 extends his condolences to the government and people of Kano State, the Kano Emirate Council, and the family of the late chief,” the statement said.
He prayed for the deceased’s soul to be granted peace in Jannatul Firdaus.
