Musa Ungogo noted that Malam Ibrahim Khalil will be received with his structures drawn from the 44 local government areas of Kano state as members of African Democratic Congress.
The ADC chairman said the national executives of the party are well prepared to receive the renown sheikh.
Sheikh Ibrahim Khalil who joins the ADC recently fell out with the present Kano state government around 2018 when he resigned as special adviser to Governor Abdullahi Umar Ganduje on special duties.
Late last year some faction of Islamic scholars allegedly on the orders of Kano state government converged at the Press centre and addressed a press conference announcing the removal of Sheikh Ibrahim Khalil as chairman Kano council of Ulamas.
The faction of the scholars immediately replaced sheikh Ibrahim Khalil with chairman Kano state pilgrims welfare board Professor Abdullahi Sale Pakistan.
The controversy rages on when other prominent Islamic scholars also came out to distance themselves from the removal of Sheikh Ibrahim Khalil as their chairman,among them were Sheikh Abdallah Abdulwahab and renown expert in Islamic banking and finance Sheikh Dr Bashir Aliyu Umar and Dr. Saidu Ahmad Dukawa.
Another young scholar sheikh Lawal Abubakar Triumph also condemned the move.
