Contrary to the reports circulating in both mainstream and social media, that Kano state Council of Ulamas has endorsed the presidential ambition of Chief Bola ahmed Tinubu, the Chairman of the Ulamas’ Council, Sheikh Ibrahim Khalil, has denied the insinuation that the Council has taken such a political stand.

Sheikh Khalil also emphasized that, Tinubu was in Kano to attend the wedding fatiha of Sheikh Bn Usman’s daughter, and there was nothing in his schedule to meet with the Council of Ulamas, talk less of seeking for their endorsements of his rumoured ambition.

“Ulamas and Imams in Kano have diverse political allegiance, and thus it’s impossible to imagine getting all of them to endorse a single candidate. This report about endorsement of a particular candidate is absolutely not true,” Sahelian Times reports.
