After advising President Muhammadu Buhari not to visit Kano State on Monday, Kano State Governor Umar Ganduje has reversed his position, stating that the state is now ready to receive him.
The governor made the remarks to reporters after leading a delegation of key stakeholders from the state to President Buhari’s country home in Daura, Katsina State, today.
“We are very much ready to receive him (Buhari) and we have a lot for him to commission including federal government projects and state government projects. They are state-of-the-art projects,” he said, when asked whether the state was prepared to host Buhari on Monday.
Earlier in an interactive session, Ganduje with critical stakeholders including scholars, legislators, political leaders and business community in the state, revealed that his government had requested the President to postpone the trip, saying that the state was deeply concerned about the hardship principally induced by the ongoing cash swap from old to redesigned notes.
He said his earlier decision was taken to avoid any unforeseen circumstance.
