The Emir of Kano, Muhammad Sanusi II, on Thursday visited President Goodluck Jonathan in Aso Rock and allegedly apologised to his host for all his actions and inactions that strained their relationship.

The relationship between the two became strained when the President suspended Sanusi as the governor of the Central Bank of Nigeria.

Jonathan had suspended Sanusi as the apex bank’s boss over what was described as financial recklessness.

Since his appointment as Emir, Thursday was the first time Sanusi would be visiting the President alone, although he was one of the Northern Traditional Rulers who joined Jonathan in the Presidential Villa, Abuja, for the breaking of Ramadan fast on July 23.

A Presidency source, who pleaded anonymity, told our correspondent that Sanusi used the opportunity of the Thursday meeting to apologise to the President.

The source added that the traditional ruler promised to support the present administration.

He said, “Sanusi during his visit to the President today(Thursday) apologised to the President.

“He actually told the President that all his previous actions against him (the President) were based on misinformation.

“He then promised that going forward, he would be supporting the President and the present administration.”

Sanusi did not speak with State House correspondents at the end of the closed-door meeting.

He was driven in an old model Rolls Royce.
