What Do You Make Of This Big Smile Between President Jonathan And Emir Sanusi?

sanusi
President Jonathan played host to the Emir of Kano, Sanusi Lamido Sanusi, after breaking the Ramadan fast with traditional rulers at the State House on Wednesday. The Sultan of Sokoto was also at the State House to pump fists with the President, but it was Sanusi’s wide grin with President Jonathan that caught the eye given their not-so-friendly recent past.
Sanusi was deposed from office as Central Bank of Nigeria (CBN) Governor after being slammed with tons and tons of words bordering on financial recklessness. Onlookers didn’t miss the fact that the Governor’s whistle blowing act of accusing the state run oil company of frittering some cool $20bn must have done him in.
Deposed and with his tail in his legs, the former CBN Governor took his case against the President to court.
By some stroke of fate, Sanusi was handpicked as the new Emir of Kano following the passing of the old Emir and soon after, dropped his case against the President.
Yesterday, they smiled and laughed into the cameras for us all to see.
Hatchet buried? What do you think?

    What do expect? The man is quite happy to meet with and resolve issues with the president. Forget about those boasting and the many noise, he want to be relevant in the scheme of things. Let's not go into his atrocities in First bank and CBN. Let sleeping dog lie.

OBOREVWORI: How Not To Glorify A 'One Chance' Governor - By Zik Gbemre

It is appalling how, in desperation to sustain its thieving hegemony over the Delta State Government since 1999, the Delta PDP had the audacity to impose the weakest, most uninformed contender, a local champion, as Governor over a state replete with accomplished men and women of immense capacity. Given this unenviable privilege, one would have expected the fortunate placeholder governor, Sheriff Oborevwori—whose only election campaign manifesto was pledging to improve on the failed leadership of Ifeanyi Okowa, his predecessor—to engage creative minds and individuals of proven integrity to assist him in making a difference. Rather than doing the needful, Oborevwori has worsened matters by electing to engage the same spent leaders, deadwood, and gluttons that have gained prominence in running the state down over successive administrations. The result has been a government of mediocre officeholders competing to run the state for their pockets at the detriment of the populace, under a gove...
