According to him, the governors include AbdulRahman AbdulRazaq of Kwara and Chairman of the Nigeria Governors’ Forum (NGF), Mai Mala Buni of Yobe, and Ahmad Aliyu of Sokoto.
He explained that the dignitaries were also expected to witness the turbaning of the governor’s son, Muhammad Dikko, as the Gwagwaran Katsina, and District Head of Radda, scheduled for May 2.
The News Agency of Nigeria (NAN) reports that the turbaning ceremony will be done at the palace of the Emir of Katsina, Alhaji Abdulmumini Kabir-Usman.
