Seyi Tinubu, the son of President Bola Tinubu, on Monday evening joined the youth and political leaders in Kano city to break his third Ramadan.
Prayers were held at Al-Furqan Mosque, while the breaking of fast took place at Amani Event Centre, all in the ancient city of Kano.
Seyi marked the occasion with a special Iftar and the launch of a feeding programme for the underprivileged.
The occasion was part of his (Seyi Tinubu’s) Renewed Hope for Youth Engagement (RHYE) initiative, aimed at supporting vulnerable groups, including physically challenged persons.
The feeding programme aligns with the broader vision of the Renewed Hope Agenda of his father’s administration.
Before the Iftar, Seyi Tinubu paid a courtesy visit to elder statesman and business magnate, Aminu Dantata.
He also met with the Governor of Kano State, Abba Yusuf, later in the day.
Seyi’s visit reunited the sons of Kano political gladiators. The Iftar gathering brought together the sons of Governor Abba Yusuf, former governors Abdullahi Ganduje and Ibrahim Shekarau, among others.
Also, in a rare display of political unity, the Iftar gathering brought together notable members of the All Progressives Congress (APC), New Nigeria Peoples Party (NNPP), the People’s Democratic Party (PDP), as well as other political parties.
For instance, the state NNPP chairman, Hashim Sulaiman Dungurawa, APC chieftain Dan Agundi, and several NNPP government appointees were present, reinforcing the event’s significance as beyond party affiliation.
Seyi thanked the people of Kano for the warm reception, show of love, and respect. “Thank you; Thank you; And Thank you,” he said.
The president’s son emphasised the importance of community service and social welfare, particularly during Ramadan. He reiterated his commitment to initiatives that uplift the underprivileged and foster national unity.
Seyi’s feeding programme is expected to provide essential meals to thousands of fasting people in Kano, particularly to the underprivileged.
