The outgoing Commissioner for Information and Internal Affairs, Malam Muhammad Garba, who confirmed the development in a statement on Sunday morning, said the event would be held at the Government House in Kano around 9pm on Sunday, May 28, 2023.

Muhammad pointed out that the two committees met within the week during which a handing-over document was presented to the governor-elect committee and also worked out a harmonised agenda for the handing-over ceremony.
The commissioner explained that Ganduje would shortly after the event depart for Abuja as head of the Kano delegation to the inauguration of Tinubu on Monday, May 29.
He said the governor’s departure was also necessitated to beat the deadline for the closure of the Nnamdi Azikiwe International Airport, Abuja, for the inauguration ceremony.
The statement urged people to continue to pray for peace and development in the state.
