The Deputy Governor of Kano State, Dr Abdullahi Ganduje, has commiserated with the families of those killed in Friday’s suicide bombings at the Grand Mosque in Kano.
At least 120 people have been reported killed and 270 others wounded when two suicide bombers blew themselves up and gunmen opened fire during weekly prayers at the mosque of one of the Emir of Kano, Sanusi Lamido Sanusi.
Ganduje described the incident as very unfortunate. He also prayed for the quick recovery of those who sustained injuries in the blasts.
He called on the people of the state to continue to pray to God to prevent future occurrence.
“It is unfortunate that the ugly incident is happening when the state has started enjoying relative peace.
“We should continue to pray for the sustenance of peace in our state and the country at large,” he said.
The attack came on a day when the deputy governor picked the expression of interest form at the secretariat of the All Progressives Congress (APC) after Governor Rabiu Kwankwaso approved his candidature and urged other aspirants to support him.
Ganduje described Kwankwaso’s approval as a triumph of hope, promising to continue with the governor’s legacies if he is elected in the February 2015 governorship election.
