Rapid-past governor of Kaduna State, Nasir El-Rufai, has reacted to the reinstatement of his bossom pal, Muhammadu Sanusi II, as Emir of Kano by the Kano State authorities.
Sanusi II was deposed in 2020 by then the immediate-past administration of Governor Abdullahi Umar Ganduje, over some allegations.
LEADERSHIP reviews that the event apparently led to a strained relationship between El-Rufai and Ganduje.
It is also recalled that after the deposition of Emir Sanusi II in 2020 and his subsequent banishment to Nasarawa State, the then Governor El-Rufai on the time influenced his pal’s launch from home arrest within the North-Central State and eventual relocation to Lagos.
Nevertheless, 4 years after, incumbent Governor Abba Yusuf of Kano State on Thursday reinstated Sanusi II following the repeal of the Kano State Emirates Regulation 2019 and enactment of Kano Emirate Regulation 2024 by the State Home of Meeting, saying his administration’s determination was to revive the glory of the Kano Emirate pre-2019 period earlier than it was balkanised into 5 Emirates.
Reacting to the most recent improvement from his location in the US of America, former Governor El-Rufai took to his Fb web page on Friday night time to put up a cryptic message, evidently referring to the event in Kano Emirate.
In a put up tagged ‘Friday Reminder’, with a quote from the Holy Qur’an, El-Rufai wrote: “However they plan, and Allah plans. And Allah is the perfect of planners.” – Holy Quran – Surah Al-Anfal (8:30).”
