Breaking: Sanusi meets with Tinubu after talks with Niger coupists

The former Governor of the Central Bank of Nigeria, CBN, and the 14th Emir of Kano, Sanusi Lamido Sanusi, met met with President Bola Tinubu at the Presidential Villa, Abuja.

Sanusi’s meeting with President Tinubu got tongues wagging as Sanusi just returned from Niger Republic where he had met the military junta that seized power from the democratically elected President Muhamad Bazoum.

Of course, the coupists had rebuffed meeting with the delegation of former Head of State, General Abdulsalami Abubakar who was in Niger Republic along with Sultan Sa’ad Abubakar. They also shunned the delegation of the United Nations, African Union and the Economic Community of West African States and also the United States envoy.

However, Sanusi after his meeting with the coup leaders in Niger Republic, arrived the Aso Presidential Villa at about 8:25pm immediately after a high delegation of the Nigeria Islamic Ulama met with the President.

When asked about his visit to Niger, the former Emir simply said, it’s fine.

As at the time of filing this report, Sanusi was still meeting with the President.
