Kaduna Governor
Nasir Ahmed El-Rufa’i has disclosed the 14th Emir of Kano is leaving Awe in
Nasarawa State to Lagos, through Abuja.
A statement from Sir
Kashim Ibrahim House, Kaduna on Friday, said: ‘’The Governor who drove from
Abuja to Awe town, met His Highness in high spirits, demonstrating his usual
calm, poise and regal bearing amidst what has befallen in the last four days.‘’
The statement signed
by Special Adviser on Media and Communication, Mr. Muyiwa Adekeye, said:
“Governor Nasir El Rufai visited his long- time friend, ideological soul mate
and confidante, His Highness Muhammad Sanusi II, as a mark of solidarity over
his temporary travails at Awe town in Nasarawa State.
‘’His Highness seems
to have taken all that happened in his stride but has reiterated his commitment
to enforce his fundamental human rights.
‘’Sanusi II, the
14th Fulani Emir of Kano, manifested a renewed vigour to continue serving
humanity in his life- long efforts to expand the frontiers of knowledge and to
campaign against unworthy timid ignorance that has shackled Nigeria as a
perpetual potentially great nation,’’ he said.
According to the
Special Adviser, El Rufai arrived Awe town shortly before a Federal High Court
sitting in Abuja had granted an interim order, releasing Sanusi from detention.
Adekeye said that El
Rufai and His Highness later drove to the mosque where the latter led the
Jumma’at prayer, adding that hundreds of well- wishers lined up the road of Awe
to hail His Highness on his way to the mosque and back to his residence.
The statement
further said that the duo rode in El Rufai’s car to Abuja, from where Sanusi II
will proceed to Lagos.
