President Muhammadu Buhari will head to Kano State on Monday, January 30, 2023, even though Kano State Governor Abdullahi Ganduje had warned the President against visiting, due to the old Naira notes swap crisis.
During an interactive session with scholars, legislators, political leaders and the business community in the State at the Government House, Kano on Friday, Ganduje had said: “As we were awaiting for this important visit, we found ourselves in this situation which puts citizens into untold hardship.
“For security purposes, we wrote to the Presidency that President Buhari’s visit to Kano be postponed.”
Quest Times can now exclusively report that President Buhari has told Governor Ganduje that he will be visiting Kano on the scheduled date and as pre-planned.
“We are now ready to receive him and we have a lot for him to commission including federal government projects and state government projects. There are state-of-the-art projects,” Ganduje said after visiting President Buhari in his country home in Daura, Katsina State on Sunday.
On Sunday, January 29, President Buhari extended the deadline for the old Naira notes swap by another 10 days, after a meeting with Central Bank Governor Godwin Emefiele.
In a related development, President Buhari’s convoy was pelted with stones as the nation’s number one citizen visited his home State of Katsina a few days ago.
