Governor Nasir el-Rufai of Kaduna State, who offered Sanusi two appointments after his dethronement, said he could not leave the embattled monarch at this time. He added that Sanusi had been with him since he was a teenager and that he (Sanusi) had never left him.

He pointed out that traditional rulers deserve respect and that in Kaduna, monarchs as the custodians of culture are respected.

Speaking on Sanusi’s freedom of movement as ruled by the court, el-Rufai, who was in Awe around 12:45 to accompany Sanusi out of the town after the court ruling, told journalists that, “I came to visit my friend and my brother, the deposed Emir of Kano, Muhammad Sanusi II, and to see how he is doing and to express my support for him.”

“We have been friends since we were teenagers. He has been by my side throughout my troubles and successes and I have to be by his side throughout his own troubles and successes. We are inseparable.”

Fielding questions from journalists shortly after Friday’s Jumat prayer, he said, “As you know, the Federal High Court in Abuja today declared his detention illegal and unconstitutional and his banishment also in violation of the constitution. So, he is free.

“He can live anywhere he wants, including Kano city, if he wants. But we are on our way to Abuja. It is quite likely that the emir proceeds to Lagos which was his preferred destination from day one.

“From the day he was informed of his deposition, it was his wish to go to Lagos because some of his family members are now in Lagos. And by the grace of God we are on our way to Lagos.”

On the appointment he offered Sanusi as the vice-chairman of Kaduna Investment Promotion Agency after the dethronement, el-Rufai maintained that the emir was a global citizen with network of contacts around the world, saying he could bring a lot of investments to Kaduna State.

He said he could not offer him the position when he was emir because he should be attracting investment to Kano State but that as soon as he was available, he seized the opportunity to bring that value to Kaduna State.

On the second appointment as the Chancellor of Kaduna State University, el-Rufai, however, affirmed that it had been a practice in Nigeria for emirs to be chancellors of universities, noting that he didn’t want the emir to feel as if he had lost everything.

The governor added, “In Kaduna, we honour our traditional rulers because they are the custodians of our cultural values. We revere and respect them. So, apart from being my childhood friend, traditional rulers deserve our respect.”

Despite the shortcomings of the short man governor, he is the definition of what a true friend should be.

El'Rufai is indeed a nice friend.


God let our friends be as faithful and steadfast like El Rufai

Friends forever

Talk is cheap

This isn't friendship but brotherhood. The bond is glaring.

Best friend!

Nice one sir and God bless u.
as for Gandollar and PMB?

You are truly a good friend. Brotherly join

In this present day, friends like Elrufai as per Sanusi's matter scarce more than Graff Diamond

Good one there Mallam

True friendship is essential.
Loyalty is paramount but having a conscience is everything.

Sometimes we have to do things even if it makes you appear to stand on the other side just because we have a conscience and because as humans, the only things we owe our fellow humans is loyalty and an unwavering support to them when they're being treated unfairly.

El-Rufai may have either done this from a good conscience or from the exploitation of a rare opportunity to launder his image and win the once-lost hearts of the Southerners who seem to be bothered most by this particular saga.
Two appointments in 48hours and a personal visit seems an overkill to even a dull person like NwaAmaikpe.
Well, that's water for another cup of tea.

Sanusi's unfortunate and very humiliating travail has been exposed by the media. Without them, there might have been no outrage to this humiliation.
Before thanking the Igbo judge Chikere who ordered his freedom or good friends like Dangote and El-Rufai who stood by him at such a trying time, he first owes his victory and freedom to the Press.

They were steadfast to the reporting of his injustices.
They've even overflogged it because the topic on the lips of virtually every Southerner in Nigeria is either Sanusi or the COVID-19 and this is because that is what the press wants them to hear.

When will the press talk about the recent massacres in Ikwo, Ebonyi state?
Those victims and their families have suffered even worse than Sanusi. Sanusi lost his throne; these folks have lost their existence.

Because I strongly believe that what is good for the Goose is also good for the Vulture, I hereby refuse to be bothered by the banishment of a Hausa King; because if it happened to mine, I can bet on my scruffy pubic hairs that no one in the North will even discuss it let alone lose sleep over it.

There's more to be worried about.
Like the new stamp duty charges on Savings account, the new bill that may make me share State of origin with a herdsman and Sister Mamunatu's tasteless pepper stew.

NwaAmaikpe:

He's baccckkkkk!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Dem don release am oOoooooooo. Oya begin yarn dust as usual.

NwaAmaikpe:

Spill it as usual

He is a good friend...

But no presidency for any of you

NwaAmaikpe:

Back from China?


Did you coronate?

Governor Nasir el-Rufai of Kaduna State is a real niggarr, he understand,value and respect his long time friend, kudos to him.

This old man,Be free of this extreme bitterness, frustration, stubbornness, delusion, immaturity, misery, agony, unpleasantries, troubles, confusion and unnecessities that have so much enveloped the totality of your existence.

If only you take your infected hands off nairaland page for 24-72hours then you will know that sanusi dethronement is not the hottest news in town.
Listen to TVC journalist hangout and be expose to the happenings in Nigeria..

I know likes and mentions do give you orgasm. You can wallow in your stupid fame.

Nonsensical foul mouthed hypocrite of the highest order.

A friend in need is a friend indeed ...

Nice one El Rufai.Other Governors and friends will dissociate themselves from Sanusi because of their selfish political interest so that PMB and others will not victimize them.
The only aspect I dont like you much is you are Islamic extremists and you humiliate. Christians and many Nigerians have known you with such a stigma

Simply because bird of a feather must flock together.

El' Rufai has not said the whole truth. What is likely is that he has personal issues with Ganduje and he has used the dethronement of Emir of Kano to score his own point. The two appointments he gave Sanusi, he could have still given him both while he was the emir. There are best described as side jobs, freelance jobs and not full time jobs. Let El' Rufai not deceive any body.
Atiku helped build El' Rufai, how did he pay Atiku back.
El Zakkazy helped El' Rufai become the governor, how did he pay him back?
Today, El' Rufai is forming pro Buhari and cabal member. Was he pro Buhari before 2014? If Buhari had not made him governor, would he have been on the right side, defending the APC and the Buhari's presidency?
What is really the difference between El Rufai and the yoruba boy called Femi Fani Kayode?

I don't have a fvck to spare, Goodluck Sanusi.

I can see why they’re such great friends.

They’re both garrulous, blow hards.

All hat, no cattle.

If El rufai supports u ...you can trust him with your life ....if he is against u , he would make it very open and u too should prepare

Good

But please put Kaduna in order

I hate El Rufai but this one you deserve my praise
