Kaduna State Governor, Nasir El-Rufai, is on his way to visit the dethroned Emir of Kano, Muhammadu Sanusi II, in Awe, Nasarawa State.
A tweet from the media office of Governor El-Rufai shows the governor inside a vehicle heading to Awe village in Nasarawa State. The deposed Emir is a close friend of Governor El-Rufai.
Recently, the Kaduna governor appointed Sanusi as the Pro-Chancellor of Kaduna State University and also made him the Vice-Chairman of the state’s investment board. These appointments came after Sanusi was dethroned and banished by the Kano State government.
On February 16, 2020, Sanusi delivered a thought-provoking speech on the socio-economic challenges confronting the northern region during El-Rufai’s 60th birthday anniversary in Kaduna State.
