El-Rufai meets Northern governors, applauds Sanusi’s reinstatement

Former Kaduna State Governor, Nasir el-Rufai, met yesterday with the governors of Kano, Zamfara, and Katsina states, Abba Yusuf, Dr. Dauda Lawal, Dr. Dikko Radda, respectively as well as other Northern leaders at the Arewa Tech Fest in Kano.

The event brought together political and technology leaders to discuss advancements in the region. During the gathering, el-Rufai expressed his deep appreciation for the reinstatement of Muhammadu Sanusi II as the 16th Emir of Kano, describing it as one of the most significant moments of his life.

“The reinstatement of His Highness is one of the most important events in my life, and I want to congratulate you once again. This reinstatement marks a moment of vindication and renewal for Northern Nigeria’s traditional leadership,” he added.

Sanusi’s return was possible after amendment of the law that led to his deposition in 2019. El-Rufai has been his vocal supporter and had visited him in Nasarawa State after his dethronement and subsequent banishment.
