Our correspondent gathered from security sources that the Governor left Kaduna on Thursday morning to visit Sanusi.
Our correspondent could not confirm this from the Governor’s Special Assistant on Media and Publicity, Ibrahim Musa because his phones were unreachable.
The source also said he could not confirm when El-Rufai will be back in the state.
El-Rufai recently appointed the deposed Emir as the Chancellor of the Kaduna State University (KASU).
It was the second appointment for Sanusi from the Kaduna state governor within 24 hours. He was earlier appointed the Vice-Chairman of Kaduna Investment Promotion Agency (KADIPA) on Tuesday.
