First Lady, Oluremi Tinubu, has arrived in the ancient city of Kano for her one-day official visit. The presidential jet conveying her and her entourage touched down at the Malam Aminu Kano International Airport a few hours ago.
The governor of Kano state, Abba Kabir Yusuf, and members of his cabinet were at the airport to receive the First Lady.
It was a rousing welcome as thousands of the New Nigeria Peoples Party (NNPP) supporters and loyalists of the All Progressives Congress (APC) all came out to welcome the president’s wife.
Hundreds of residents and schoolchildren came out to the streets to wave respectfully at the First Lady as she was being driven into the metropolis.
The president’s wife is in Kano to commission a multi-purpose hall named after her at the faculty of Law, Maryam Abacha American University, Kano campus.
