A former Central Bank of Nigeria (CBN) Governor Muhammadu Sanusi II, has clarified that he was in transit through Kano to Dutse, Jigawa State when he was persuaded to visit his mother.
Sanusi said bad weather prevented him from proceeding on his trip to Dutse as the Aircraft landed in Kano to ensure the safety of passengers.
Sanusi said: “I couldn’t go directly to Jigawa State because of bad weather and as I touched down in Kano, hundreds of people stormed us and asked me to at least go and greet my mother which I did”.
He, however, reminded that as a citizen, he has the right to go anywhere he so wishes, clarifying that there is a court judgement that allows him to visit any state of his choice.
This is the first time Saanusi will be in Kano, three years after he was removed by Governor Abdullahi Ganduje following a serious misunderstanding.
The 14th Fulani Emir of Kano said he met so many well-wishers at his mother’s home along Ibrahim Dabo Road, where they prayed for him, some with tears of love.
