As his tenure comes to an end, Governor Abdullahi Umar Ganduje has asked the people of Kano for their forgiveness. Speaking at a Ramadan Tafseer in Al-Fruqan Jumaat Mosque, Alu Avenue, Kano, the governor emphasized that he only has a few days left in office and wanted to seek forgiveness from those he had offended. He also stated that he has forgiven anyone who had offended him.

Ganduje expressed his gratitude for having served as a commissioner for six years, deputy governor for eight years, and now as the governor of Kano state for eight years. He acknowledged that during this long period, there may have been instances where he was right or wrong, and he asked for forgiveness for any mistakes made.
Following the governor’s request, people both inside and outside Kano state reacted on social media platforms. While some forgave him and praised his humility, others provided conditions for accepting his plea, and a few stated they would never forgive him.
