Yusuf condemns youth misconduct during First Lady’s visit, calls for moral renewal

Speaking during a special prayer session held at the Government House, Yusuf also described the behaviour as a breach of cultural and religious norms

Kano governor Abba Yusuf has described display of underwear (pants) by some youths during the recent visit of First Lady, Sen. Oluremi Tinubu, to the state as “disrespectful and unacceptable.”

Recall that some women and youths believed to be members of the ruling All Progressives Congress, APC in the state were seen displaying the pants during the visit of the First Lady to the state.

It was believed that the action was in mockery of the governor’s godfather, Rabiu Musa Kwankwaso.

But in a statement issued by his Chief Press Secretary, Mustapha Muhammad, on Monday in Kano Yusuf condemned the action of the youths.

Speaking during a special prayer session held at the Government House , Yusuf also described the behaviour as a breach of cultural and religious norms

He distanced himself, his administration, and the people of Kano State from the incident.

About 4,444 Quranic reciters gathered at the event to pray for peace, stability, and prosperity in the state and the country at large.

‘This behaviour is a deviation from the values underpinning my administration’s Kano First Agenda.

”Such actions contradict Islamic teachings on modesty and respect for authority.’ he said.

He warned the youths involved against repeating such conduct, noting that actions capable of tarnishing the image of the state would not be tolerated.

The governor also cautioned politicians against exploiting young people for political gains.

“Our youths should be symbols of hope and development, not tools for mockery or moral decadence,” he said, urging political actors to promote decency and focus on policies that advance the state.

The governor called on those responsible to seek forgiveness from God and apologise to the people of Kano state for the embarrassment caused.

He reaffirmed his administration’s commitment to maintaining Kano’s reputation for discipline, hospitality, and religious devotion, while prioritising youth mentorship and cultural preservation.

In his remarks, the Emir of Kano, Muhammad Sanusi II, represented by Alhaji Aliyu Harazumi, assured that the emirate would continue to organising Quranic recitations to promote lasting peace in the state.

Several Islamic scholars who spoke at the event also emphasised the need for moral discipline and collective responsibility in sustaining peace and unity in Kano state.

It was a show of solidarity.

This the hand work of mischief. No governor sitting can even reason such thing. Opposition hand deh inside

Why's he angry? These are the gifts his foolish party decided was best for the women of Kano, which suggests that they have old, worn out pants at home. Rubbish.

Hehehehe. This debacle is so amusing.

Na wa for the person who thought about it

Pata Jagaban ! They want to just use it to demarket Tinubu.

It still wouldn't work. He's a juggernaut that can't be stopped.

Only God can stop him

Governor no go fold ke
He has realized he's not coming back to kano government house.

Which your APC is against

I thought they said it's AI generated.

APC isn't shameful. So, because people have been condemning rice, they now resort to giving pants. What a shame! They are actually doing this to shame the North because people feel northern hijab girls usually walk naked for quickies.

Pants solidarity forever.😂😂😂

He is an OTP Governor reality don dey hit am

So Yekini wants to hide under Kano women's pants to totori them?

This una Yekini is a pervert oh!!

They are displaying what she empowered them with. Pants empowerment programme.

Whatever.
So repulsive.
Even in ultra liberal countries this will be roundly condemned. This is demeaning to all.those involved. Should beve happen again.

As for the citizens. This is what you get for being fodder. Remember that you are the employer and they are your employees. Remember who is in charge and who should be serving.

But they first said it was Ai na? He who ever brought that idea na werey.

We've never seen or heard of this type of political game before. I think Gov Yusuf has done the right thing.

No mind that Lagos Ibadan media crew wey dey form say them get forensic department

Dude you read or follow up the story at all,it wasn't anything related to empowerment but a political banter against the govs opponents.....the extent overzealous supporters can go can sometimes be downright ludicrous.

I thought one nonsense fake fact check was pushed to the frontpage days ago.

So the image was actually real.

Governor don dey talk because of the backlash

The actors seemed not to have brains.
Look at those beautiful ladies and handsome guys involved in such recklessness.
Indeed being beautiful doesn't mean that one is sensible.
Na blue film ni?

JAF for Rep, Okitipupa/Irele Federal Constituency

But it was denied. It shows it is true and pata pupa is true. You see APC folks, they are afraid of their own shadow.

This children dem no get respect o. Shey dem mean say the first lady no dey wear pant neh? Abi na wetin? I am not understanding o.
This is what u get, when u refuse to give good governance to the people. Shame!

If hisbah no arrest the governor, then it's crystal clear that sharia is for the poor

Try going to a senator (that is IF you can even get an appointment to see him sef) and telling him/her that they're there because of you and they must do as you wish, the kind prison you'll be thrown in won't have a record of you being in it, therefore you've simply disappeared.
There's zero accountability/freedom in third world countries, if you can't handle it, you leave so your future generations don't have their destinies stolen even before they were born.

...and they had to choose red-coloured underwear.


Some perverts will even jerk-off to those images. Funny pictures.

Them dey wear pants?
I believe this display is to subtly reminding them to be wearing pants.

Lol 😂 😂 😂 😂 😂

They need to take off their pants in other to properly "stand on his Manhood"

But the propaganda newspaper, Daily Trust, said the images were AI generated.

BTW, the pictures in circulation are pictures of youths grown up ladies displaying pants in public. And because most of those ladies are side chicks of politicians in the state, Hisbah can't do anything about it. Sharia is for the poor. Don't let them use religion to deceive you. Perversion is in their system. They only denounce it when it is exposed.
