The Kano State Government has sympathised with the owner of Sky World Paint, Alhaji Ali Muhammad, over a fire incident that gutted parts of the company’s premises in Tokarawa, Gezawa Local Government Area of the state.
The state Deputy Governor, Alhaji Murtala Sule Garo, conveyed the government’s sympathy on behalf of Governor Abba Kabir Yusuf when he visited the company to commiserate with the owner over the incident.
The fire, which occurred on Tuesday, reportedly destroyed property and other resources worth millions of naira, leaving the business with significant losses.
Garo prayed Allah to compensate Alhaji Ali Muhammad for the losses and grant him the means to recover from the setback.
In another engagement, the deputy governor represented Governor Yusuf at the wedding Fatiha of Fatima Salisu Maje Ahmad Gwangwazo, daughter of the state Deputy Chairman of the All Progressives Congress (APC).
The wedding was held on Sunday at the Juma’at Mosque, old site of Bayero University Kano, where Fatima Salisu was joined in matrimony with Bashir Isma’il Bello.
The ceremony was attended by government officials, political leaders, family members, friends and other well-wishers.
Garo congratulated the families of the bride and groom and prayed Allah to bless their marriage with peace, understanding and prosperity.
He also prayed for the couple to be blessed with righteous offspring and a fulfilling marital life.
After the ceremony, the deputy governor visited Salanta Quarters, where he paid a sympathy visit to Hon. Musa Sani Dambatta, popularly known as DDN, who is currently receiving medical treatment.
Garo prayed for his speedy and complete recovery.
Musa Sani is a former Vice Chairman of Dambatta Local Government Council and former Special Adviser on Transportation in Kano State.
The deputy governor also visited the family of the late Alhaji Muhammad Sani Hotoro, popularly known as Dan Sani, to condole with them over his death.
Hotoro, a former Senior Special Assistant to the Governor on Cooperative Groups, died in an accident on Thursday. He is survived by three wives.
Garo conveyed Governor Yusuf’s condolences to the deceased’s family and prayed Allah to forgive his shortcomings and grant him eternal rest.
He also prayed Allah to grant the family the strength and patience to bear the loss.
