Kaduna state governor, Nasir El-Rufai flew to Lagos on Saturday to do a book launch and also visit with his friend, dethroned Emir Lamido Sanusi II, in continuation of where he stopped on Friday.
Pastor Tunde Bakare, founder and Senior Pastor of the Latter Rain Assembly also known as the Citadel Global Community Church hosted the Lagos re-launch of El-Rufai’s book, ‘These Times.’ The book was first launched in Kaduna in February to mark El-Rufai’s 60th birthday.
Governor Kayode Fayemi of Ekiti State and Hadiza Bala Usman, managing director of Nigerian Ports Authority attended the event, along with other dignitaries.
After the book launch, which El Rufai, in company of Bakare, Hadiza and his special adviser, Jimi Lawal went to visit with Muhammadu Sanusi II, who was removed on Monday as Emir of Kano by Governor Abdullahi Ganduje.
Recall that on Friday, El-Rufai had visited Sanusi in the Nasarawa town of Awe, where the police and the DSS detained Sanusi after his dethronement. As it turned out, El-Rufai’s was a liberating visit, as a Federal High Court in Abuja had the same day ordered the Emir’s release by his captors.
El-Rufai and Sanusi, after the Jumat prayer, left Awe, to Lafia, capital of Nasarawa state, then moved to Abuja, where Sanusi boarded a private jet to Lagos. He arrived Lagos 11.35pm.
