Large crowds gathered in Kano on Friday as supporters lined the streets to استقبال Rabiu Musa Kwankwaso on his way to Jumu’ah prayers.
Witnesses described a sea of people pouring into major routes, chanting and waving as the former Kano State governor made his way to the mosque. The atmosphere was charged, with residents turning out in significant numbers in what appeared to be a spontaneous show of support.
While such public displays are not uncommon in the politically vibrant northern city, the scale of the turnout underscored Kwankwaso’s enduring influence in the region.
There was no immediate official statement from the senator’s camp, but the gathering highlighted his continued political relevance amid Nigeria’s evolving landscape.
