Former Kaduna State Governor, Malam Nasir El-Rufai, has expressed profound gratitude for the reinstatement of the 16th Emir of Kano, Malam Muhammadu Sanusi, describing it as one of the most significant moments of his life.
El-Rufai made these remarks on Wednesday during the Arewa Tech Fest, an event that brought together political and technology leaders to discuss the progress of Northern Nigeria.
The event was attended by notable figures, including the Governors of Kano, Katsina, and Zamfara states.
“The reinstatement of his highness is one of the most important events in my life, and I want to congratulate you once again,” El-Rufai said.
Sanusi, who was dethroned in 2020 under controversial circumstances, has been a polarizing figure in Nigerian politics. While his reinstatement has sparked mixed reactions nationwide, El-Rufai views it as a moment of vindication and a renewal of Northern Nigeria’s traditional leadership.
