Security agents lost control of the situation, as the surging crowd overpowered them at the rally.
Kano is the stronghold of the president. He secured over 1.9 million votes in the state in 2015 and Abdullahi Ganduje, the governor, has promised him five million votes in 2019.
Bashir Ahmad, an aide of the president, tweeted a video of the people who trooped to the streets to receive the president.
