The Kano State Governor, Abba Kabir Yusuf, has appointed the Emir of Rano, Ambassador Muhammad Isa Umar, as the Amirul Hajj for 2027.

n

This was contained in a statement released by the Governor’s Chief Press Secretary, Mustapha Muhammad, a copy of which was made available to The PUNCH on Saturday.

n

According to the statement, the governor made the announcement at the Rano Emirate after witnessing the wedding and turbaning of the Emir’s first son, Muhammad Abubakar Isa, on Friday.

n

Yusuf said his administration chose the Emir to serve as Amirul Hajj because the Emir of Gaya, Alhaji Dr Abdulkadir Ibrahim, led the state’s delegation during the previous Hajj.

n

“Next year’s Hajj 2027, the Emir of Rano, Alhaji Ambassador Muhammad Isa Umaru, is going to be the Amirul Hajj,” the governor said.

n

The Emir, Amb. Muhammad Isa Umar, and members of the emirate expressed delight over the development and thanked the governor for the honour.
