When the monarch was deposed on 9th March 2020, El-Rufai appointed Sanusi as Pro-Chancellor of Kaduna State University and Vice Chairman of the State Investment Promotion Council.
A close aide of the monarch, Dr Suleiman Shinkafi, said the former emir would be in Kaduna for a week. He’ll use the moment to receive visitors who had wanted to come to see him.
“Since his dethronement, many people have indicated their intentions to visit him in Lagos. But the monarch decided to relief them from the stress of travelling as far as Lagos,” he stressed.
Shinkafi also said the monarch will visit Sokoto to greet the Sultan Muhammad Sa’ad. Afterwards, he’ll move to Azare, Katagum where his late grandfather, Muhammad Sanusi I stayed when he was deposed by late Sardauna of Sokoto, Sir Ahmadu Bello.
