The Emir of Kano,
Muhammad Sanusi II, on Thursday visited President Goodluck Jonathan in Aso Rock
and allegedly apologized to him for all his actions and in-actions that strained
their relationship. Vice President Nnamadi Sambo appears to have mediated
between the two.
The relationship
between the two became strained when the President suspended Sanusi as the
governor of the Central Bank of Nigeria.
Jonathan had
suspended Sanusi as the apex bank’s boss over what was described as financial
recklessness.
Since his
appointment as Emir, Thursday was the first time Sanusi would be visiting the
President alone, although he was one of the Northern Traditional Rulers who
joined Jonathan in the Presidential Villa, Abuja, for the breaking of Ramadan
fast on July 23.
A Presidency
source, who pleaded anonymity, told our correspondent that Sanusi used the
opportunity of the Thursday meeting to apologize to the President.
The source added
that the traditional ruler promised to support the present administration.
He said, “Sanusi
during his visit to the President today(Thursday) apologized to the President.
“He actually told
the President that all his previous actions against him (the President) were
based on misinformation.
“He then promised
that going forward, he would be supporting the President and the present
administration.”
Sanusi did not
speak with State House correspondents at the end of the closed-door meeting.
He was driven in
an old model Rolls Royce.
