Mustapha specifically praised Governor Sani for demonstrating "wisdom and purposeful leadership despite his relatively young age."

Earlier, Sheikh Haliru Maraya, a member of the Special Hajj Committee of the Kaduna State Pilgrims Welfare Agency, provided guidance on the rites to be observed in Muna. He detailed the location and size of Muna, noting it houses approximately 100 tents for pilgrims. Governor Sani has reportedly deployed 85 officials, including Islamic clerics, to support Kaduna pilgrims. Maraya highlighted that an Islamic cleric has been assigned to each tent to lead prayers and offer guidance on worship, a measure he described as "unprecedented" for a sub-national government in Nigeria and worthy of commendation.
