Emir Muhammed Sanusi led a large entourage of the Kano Emirate council on a visit to President Goodluck Jonathan on Thursday in Abuja.

There was no statement issued at the end of the visit, with Vice President Namadi Sambo also in attendance. And the usually voluble Emir as a banker and governor of Nigeria’s central bank did not speak with media men.

It was Emir Sanusi’s second visit to Jonathan since he became the traditional ruler of Nigeria’s second largest city.

The first time was when he came with a host of Northern Nigeria traditional rulers who came to break fast with Jonathan on 23 July.
