Kano State Governor, Abba Yusuf, has condemned the conduct of some youths who reportedly displayed their undergarments during the recent official visit of the First Lady, Senator Oluremi Tinubu, describing the act as disgraceful and contrary to the state’s values.
The governor said he had distanced himself, his administration, and the people of Kano from the incident, insisting that such behaviour did not reflect the culture and traditions of Kano State.
This was contained in a statement issued on Sunday by the Governor’s Chief Press Secretary, Mustapha Muhammad.
According to the statement, Yusuf spoke during the Third Special Prayer for Lasting Peace held at the Government House, where 4,444 Qur’anic reciters gathered to pray for peace, stability, and prosperity in Kano and Nigeria.
The governor described the incident as a disturbing departure from the principles of his administration’s Kano First Agenda.
He said the action was also against the teachings of Islam, which emphasise modesty, discipline, and respect for constituted authority.
“Our youths should be symbols of hope and development, not tools for mockery or moral decadence,” Yusuf was quoted as saying.
