It is no longer news that the Executive Governor of Kano State, Alhaji Abba Kabir Yusuf, is the Kano State Amirul Hajj of the year, 2025, but one thing significant is the way he is committed to ensure Kano Pilgrims have seamless Hajj exercises.
Nights and days struggles, meetings upon meetings, putting the right people to head the affairs of the Hajj Committee is certainly a pointer that, Governor Abba Kabir Yusuf, is making efforts to see every pilgrim from Kano State smiles.
He appointed the Emir of Karaye, Alhaji Dr. Muhammad Maharaz, to head the Central Hajj Coordination Committee and his members, who had track records in all their disciplines. To mention: Hon. Sarki Aliyu Daneji, Sheikh Tijjani Auwal, (Commissioner Religious Affairs), Sheikh Tijjani Bala kalarawi, Sheikh Aminu Daurawa (Hisbah Commandant) and Sheikh Dr. Bashir Aliyu Umar,
Other members were Dr. Al-Fatihi Karibullah, Alhaji Yusuf Lawan, Sheikh Tijjani Sani Maihula and Alhaji Abdullahi Kabir Yusuf, Hajiya Aisha Munnir Matawalle, Sheikh Basheer Arabi, Alhaji Yusu Abdullahi and Alhaji Muhammad Ghali Muhammad.
Making the list also were Alhaji Umar Yakubu Kabara, Alhaji Murtala Lawan Sani, Hajiya Kubura Ibrahim Dankani, Hajiya Batulu Isa Waziri, Alhaji Abdullahi Muhammad Indabawa, Alhaji Hussaini Abdul Inuwa as well as Alhaji Lamin Rabiu Danbappa as Secretary.
The amiable Governor, Alhaji Abba Kabir Yusuf, was seen inspecting the food for the Kano State pilgrims, not only that but after the meals ready; he served the pilgrims, this is rare gem at the corridor of power, despite the fact that he has all the representatives, including the Coordinating Committee, but he deems it necessary to do it himself.
At Mecca, the compassionate leader has presented a gift of flasks to the pilgrims, and at the same time while realizing the heatwave and scorching sun, the people’s Governor presented an umbrella to all the pilgrims numbering 3, 345. This is to relief them from the heatwave. In June, temperature in Mecca is extremely high, sometimes reaches about 42 degrees.
In Minna, the pilgrims enjoy decent and complimentary succulent meals including clean drinking water, waiting for Arafat tomorrow, (Thursday 4th June 2025)
The pilgrims from Kano State appear to be different from others; receiving courtesy from the Amirul Hajj, Alhaji Abba Kabir Yusuf. They keep praising the efforts of the Governor Abba Kabir Yusuf.
It is obvious that serving the pilgrims who are dubbed Guests of Allah (SWA) and Guests of the Two great Holy mosques is serving humanity.
Abba Kabir Yusuf, as the Amirul Hajj, is really serving the Pilgrims, and equally serving Humanity.
