According to The NATION, The Emir of Kano, Sanusi
Lamido Sanusi is to have his seized travel passport
and withheld salaries returned.
Besides, the Kano Central Prison is to be relocated
for better security at the Emir’s palace. It is all as part
of last Thursday’s reconciliation with President
Goodluck Jonathan.
The Presidency is believed to have decided to have
what is known as “total reconciliation with the Emir”.
Although the Presidency is aware of the closeness of
the Emir to the leaders of the APC Political Party, the
olive branch is meant to ensure his “neutrality”
during next year’s elections.
A Government source while speaking, said “After the
open meeting last Thursday, the President and the
Emir met at the inner recess of the Presidential Villa
for about five minutes.
“Some political leaders from Kano, who witnessed
the session, were all excited that there is a new
understanding between the President and the Emir.
“Prior to the meeting, there had been apprehensions
on likely hostile crowd against the President in Kano
during the 2015 campaign.
“With the rapprochement, the Emir’s travel passport
and his withheld salaries and allowances will be paid.
These are some of the gains of the meeting”.

“If the traveling documents are released, the Emir
will be able to travel abroad for check up and to meet
his international friends who are desirous of
investing in the Emirate,” the source said.
The State Security Service (SSS) had in February
seized Sanusi’s passports.
The SSS on May 14 prevented the former CBN
Governor from boarding a Turkish Airline flight to
Saudi Arabia for the lesser Hajj.
Justice Ibrahim Buba of the Federal High Court, Lagos
had on April asked the Federal Government, the
police and the SSS to release Alhaji Sanusi’s passport
unlawfully seized from him in February.
