Emir of Kano, Muhammadu Sanusi II, is an outspoken man and he doesn’t have the habit of hiding words.

To celebrate Kaduna State Governor, Mallam Nasir El-Rufai, who turned 60 recently, Nigeria’s political class gathered in Kaduna. Although it was meant to be a celebration moment for El-Rufai, it didn’t stop Sanusi from raising important issues in the north, which caught the attention of all and sundry.
