Welcoming the Emir to the Government House, El-Rufai thanked Sanusi for making Kaduna the first place he is visiting since relocating to Lagos in March.

For his part, Sanusi told Malam El-Rufai that he is grateful to have in him as a friend he can always count on.

He thanked the governor for standing by him and assured that he will do his best as Vice Chairman of Kaduna Investment Promotion Council and Chancellor of the Kaduna State University, KASU.

“The world knows that whenever I am in need of friends, you are the first one to show up,” Sanusi said.

Sources told our correspondent in Kaduna that the former emir will be in Kaduna until Saturday, August 29.

“This will make it easier for the people, especially those who will come from Kano, to come and greet him,” one of the sources said.

El-Rufai, Dateline Nigeria recalls, was there for Sanusi when he was removed as emir of Kano. He visited the then dethroned emir in Awe, Nasarawa State where he was taken to.
