Dethroned Emir of Kano state, Muhammadu Sanusi II has departed Awe town in Nasarawa State where he was exiled to on Monday following his dethronement by the Government of Kano State.

El-Rufai arrived Awe town earlier today to visit the deposed Emir.

At the Friday Jumat prayer today, Sanusi, in the accompany of El-Rufai, the emir of Awe, Isa Abubakar Umar and other dignitaries went to the central mosque where the deposed Emir led the prayers.

In his sermon today, Sanusi called on Muslim faithful to always trust in God in whatever they face in life because nothing is above His power.

He described his predicament as God’s ordained plan and called on all his friends and sympathizers to see it as Gods will for him at such a time as this.

Sanusi concluded the sermon with prayers to God for wisdom and good health for the leadership of the country and safety for all who came to sympathize with him at the moment.
