The President, Major General Muhammadu Buhari (retd.), on Monday met the families of victims of the explosion in Kano to express his condolences and that of the nation.

According to a statement signed by his Senior Special Assistant on Media and Publicity, Garba Shehu, Buhari, who visited Kano to officiate at the Nigerian Air Force Day and 58th Anniversary Celebration, veered off the official program to start with a condolence visit to the Palace.At least nine persons were killed and 22 were injured last Tuesday after an explosion that led to the collapse of a building close to a popular market in Sabon Gari area of Kano.

According to Shehu, the family members of the deceased, accompanied by various community leaders resident in Sabon Gari, including the Eze Igbo, Nicholas Ibekwe, were assembled at the Palace of the Emir, Aminu Ado Bayero for the meeting with the President. In a brief address, the President said he was “extremely pained by the loss of lives and injury to many due to the explosion,” adding “my thoughts and that of the nation are with the bereaved families. I hope the injured will recover fully at the earliest possible time.”

President Buhari drew parallels between Kano and his native Daura and described the palace of the Emir as his own home.

Buhari pays condolence visits to families of Kano explosion victimsPresident Muhammadu Buhari on Monday paid a special condolence visit to the families of the nine persons who died in the Sabon Gari, Kano, gas explosion. That explosion is actually bomb explosion and not gas cylinder explosion. Am surprised at the way the Police tend to tell lies to confuse issues. They said it was a Chadian Student's that killed the girl in Sokoto. Whose interest is the Police serving. Bombs are here surely.

JUST IN: Buhari arrives Kano, visits emir's palaceMany are speculating that the President, while in Kano may intervene in the lingering crisis rocking his party, the All Progressives Congress in the state. I was really unfortunate on how this government is running there administration so mysterious you can’t predict their vision and mission. Imposter and clown president the real making of the British who are in total support of terrorism in Nigeria. Some will come to a conclusion that 90% of Nigerians are corrupt, & quick to commit crimes. Though the statistic might be wrong, with just 10% of Nigerians who is not into crime or evil practice, Nigeria can still be great. If you are among the 10% follow AGreatNigeria3 now
