President Goodluck Jonathan on Thursday met behind closed-door with the Emir of Kano, Lamido Sanusi II, at the Presidential Villa, Abuja.

Sanusi, who is a former governor of the Central Bank of Nigeria (CBN), was at the State House with some elders and palace aides from the emirate.

During the tail end of his tenure at the CBN, Sanusi, who alleged some financial irregularities in the Nigerian National Petroleum Corporation’s (NNPC) remittances to the Federation account, was suspended by President Jonathan.

At the end of about one hour meeting on Thursday, the Emir declined to speak to journalists on the discussions at the meeting.

He was driven off as soon as he was ushered by his royal guards into his antique right-hand drive Roll Royce saloon car.
