Acting President Yemi Osinbajo on Thursday hosted
Muhammed Sanusi, emir of Kano, at the presidential
villa, Abuja.
Both men met for two hours at the vice-president’s
mini conference room.
When accosted by state house correspondents,
Sanusi declined to comment on the outcome of the
meeting.
But said the emir was on a ‘Thank You’ visit to the
acting president, who recently joined other well-
meaning Nigerians to stop the Kano state house of
assembly from its investigation of alleged
misappropriation of funds and other infractions levelled
against the monarch.
The house resolved to drop the probe following a plea
through a letter by Abdullahi Ganduje, governor of
Kano.
The letter was read by the speaker, Kabiru Rirum, on
the floor of the house.
In his letter, Ganduje said he was calling for the
investigation to be dropped as a result of interventions
by highly-placed personalities in the matter.
According to the letter, the personalities include
Osinbajo; party leaders; former military President
Ibrahim Babangida; former head of state Abdulsalami
Abubakar; Sa’ad Abubakar, sultan of Sokoto; and
businessmen and indigenes of the state, Aliko
Dangote and Aminu Dantata.
