Islamic clerics in Kano State gathered at the weekend to offer prayers to President Bola Tinubu and the leader of the Kwankwasiyya Movement, Senator Rabiu Kwankwaso.

This is according to agency report about the event, hosted by a lawmaker, Abdulmumin Kofa (NNPP-Kiru/Bebeji).

Kofa, in a statement, said that over 1,000 Islamic clerics gathered for the prayers including to pray for the peace, progress and political stability of Nigeria.

He added that the ulamas also prayed for Gov. Kabir Yusuf of Kano State to succeed in his appeal before the Supreme Court.

“During the prayer session, the clerics recited the Qur’an 1,101 times and prayed for peace, progress and political stability in the country,” the statement said.

Kofa said his relationship with the president was no secret, noting that Mr Kwankwaso is his mentor. He said he would continue to support and promote a harmonious relationship between Messrs Tinubu and Kwankwaso.

Mr Kofa described NNPP as a promising party open to collaboration, alliance and merger with the APC and even with the People’s Democratic Party, Labour Party or any other party that showed interest, so long as it is for the good of Nigerians.
