Dr. Ganduje particularly highlighted Abdulaziz’s role as a former leader of the Kantin Kwari Market Traders Association, where he was widely known for championing the rights and welfare of traders while contributing significantly to the growth and organisation of commercial activities in Kano.
He prayed for the eternal rest of the departed souls and for divine protection, peace and stability for Kano State and the country at large.
