Governor Abdullahi Ganduje of Kano State and the former Emir of Kano, Khalifa Muhammadu Sanusi II, met at Nnamdi Azikiwe International Airport in Abuja, on Monday, August 1, 2022.

This is the first time that both men would be seen together since Ganduje dethroned Sanusi in 2020.

The two Kano leaders were captured during the brief meeting, shaking hands at a lounge in the airport in a cordial atmosphere.

The governor had removed the monarch on March 9, 2020, over what he described as “total disrespect to lawful instructions from the office of the governor”.
