President Goodluck Jonathan and Emir of Kano, Muhammad Sanusi II held a meeting in Abuja, Thursday.
Reliable sources said the meeting was a reconciliation meeting.
On Sanusi’s entourage were all senior members of the Kano Emirate council, while Vice President Namadi Sambo, the National Security Adviser, Sambo Dasuki, Attorney General, Mohammed Adoke, and the Foreign Affairs Minister, Aminu Wali also attended the meeting.
Though what transpired at the meeting was not disclosed, our Naijalog learnt that the president sued for peace, and announced that he had nothing against the emir and that he had forgotten everything that happened.
In return, Mr. Sanusi also preached peace saying he too had let go of the past.
The president and the emir later met privately for about 15 minutes, according to our sources.
Remember that Sanusi, a former governor of the Central Bank of Nigeria, was fired by the president in February after accusing the government of diverting $20 billion oil revenues.
The government denied the claim, and in turn, accused Mr. Sanusi of “financial recklessness”.
Sanusi and his entourage left for Kano shortly after the meeting.
